Up on the moon
In the dust and the dirt
Shouting my soul
At the planet earth
Raking these strings
'Til my fingers hurt
But I can't go on without it

Turning my back
To the wind and the rain
And the weather's alright
For a serenade
And walking works out
If you're getting paid
But I'd rather not talk about it

So let's go down
Down to the edge of the water
Down down
And we'll pray to the river bend
Throw stones at the great god
And wander down to the water's edge
So I can get in

Holding my breath
In the middle of the night
Cutting my cross
By the cold moonlight
Wonder ‘bout god
If he's feels alright
Or if he'd rather not talk about it

Counting my change
and I’m coming up short
Stealing my dinner
Ain’t a last resort
And when I'm not a winner
I'm a spoiled sport
And everyone else is cheating

So let's go down
Down to the edge of the water
Down down
And we'll pray to the river bend
Throw stones at the great god
And wander down to the water's edge
So I can get in
I will get in
If I've done one thing right
It was learning how to swim
'Cause I can hold my breath
And keep my penance in

Got a good woman
Yeah she treats me right
Sets the world to color
And she holds me tight
Look when she moves
'Cause she's quite a sight
And I couldn't go on without her

So I go down to the river
at the end of the day
And I ponder the fishes
As they swim away
And I think about my Mrs.
And I'm a-okay
I'd just like to go home and see her
