Back Water Blues - Chris Knight

Where the hell the sun, it just rain for days

All this river rising and cryin', washin' us away

If we let go now, we’re let our love drown

An' baby this cold blue river, might never go down

So put up your bags, an' get away from the door

Put up that rusty pistol, babe I ain’t mad anymore

If you leave me now, and head for higher ground

Baby this river blue back water, gonna take me down

Baby I can’t let you go

I go under if you leave me here alone

Oh this backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on

Baby just let the hard times row

We’ll wail outta here when the water’s low

These backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on

This river ain’t deep, it’s just a little cold

So put your arms around me, we find us some stepping stones

Baby hold on tight, 'cause dry land’s in sight

We’ll be out of this backwater blues, if we hold on

Baby I can’t let you go

I go under if you leave me here alone

Oh this backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on

Baby just let the hard times row

We’ll wail outta here when the water’s low

These backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on

Baby these backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on
