Take the River Slow

I went down to see my buddy John
Talkin' bout my walkin' buddy John
I said Johnny Johnny can you help me
I'm walkin' on bricks and broken glass
I went down to the parkin' meter where I said I'd meet her
But without the cash
And when the concrete walls started closin' in
I headed up to the high mountains
And I heard this whistlin' through the wind

CHORUS
Have you seen the willow
Wheepin' all over the hill
And the sky, And the sky
Don't it cry sometimes
Just to keep from losin' its mind
Take the river slow
And I don't mind waitin'
Let the water flow
All over my body
Take the river slow
Let the water flow

I got a long story
But I'll tell it fast
And I hope
That the impression lasts
You see I grew up
In a city that was twice my size
And right before my
Very very eyes
My grandpa was beatin and my body too
Him for bein' eighty two
And when the concrete walls started closin' in
I headed up to the high mountain
And I heard this whistlin' through the wind

CHORUS
