Hold Back The River lyrics

Stop your pretending
Listen to what I`ve got to say
How your head`s went away
Only here for a day
And that grave I just made
Is for me when I get paid

Won`t you wait a while
Move to blue
Sometimes people don`t want to say
Old time dancers don`t die that way
See that grave I`ve just made
It`s for me when I get paid

Somebody`s got to hold back the river
Somebody like you

Do you love and surrender
Sometimes I feel like I can remember
I think it`s fair to mention
About the days when I get paid

Somebody`s got to hold back the river
Somebody like you
Somebody`s got to hold back the river
Somebody like you

I want a little loving
I told you all to listen
But you never liked what you heard
I take what I am given
This may sound absurd
I share a double vision
Starting the transition

Hey where`s Jimmy Jazz
Steady on the scales

I told you to listen
I told you to listen

Somebody`s got hold back the river
Somebody like you
Somebody`s got to hold back the river
Somebody like you

You know that somebody
You know that somebody
You know that somebody
But it ain`t you
