Lyrics

What I wouldn’t give for a river right now
Carry me away so far away from this crowd
Might be up in Colorado might be down along the coast
Might be small enough to wade across or big enough for a boat
A river

What I wouldn’t give for a dirt road right now
Just a little ribbon of red clay headed south
Might be back in old Virginia Might be down in Tennessee
Won’t be nothin’ there to speak of Nothin’ there but me
and that dirt road

and baby that road would dance right along that river
and I would take my sweet time walking it alone
and no I would not need to know where I was going
‘cause that river and that red dirt road would lead me home.

What I wouldn’t give for a river right now
What I wouldn’t give for a dirt road (right now) headed south
What I wouldn’t give for a river right now.
