Lyrics:
Hard living I explained
We watched the light on Pontchartrain
We closed our eyes and prayed for rain
We knew that it would come
Where the Mississippi ends,
pours its heartache out again,
a thousand stories found the sand
and sank into the sun
I don't have the patience
for the ugliness of winter
I don't want to stay
and fight another one
Somewhere there's a road
that ain't broken with the cold
where the stories sink and roll
and slip into the sun
Easy living, wasted time
Shot of whiskey with your wine
Does that memory survive
or did it wash away?
Well, she rolls along,
sings a darker hollow song
I still believe that we belong
where the river rolls away
Hard living I explained
We watched the light on Pontchartrain
We closed our eyes and prayed for rain
We knew that it would come
Where the Mississippi ends,
pours its heartache out again,
a thousand stories found the sand
and sank into the sun
I don't have the patience
for the ugliness of winter
I don't want to stay
and fight another one
Somewhere there's a road
that ain't broken with the cold
where the stories sink and roll
and slip into the sun
Easy living, wasted time
Shot of whiskey with your wine
Does that memory survive
or did it wash away?
Well, she rolls along,
sings a darker hollow song
I still believe that we belong
where the river rolls away
