I'm gonna scratch my head
About the night before
I'm gonna get high
Til i hurt no more
Feed the demon somethin' everyday
You know i'm gonna drown on the river anyway
Aces high on my shoulder
Silent storm is what you need
Fame and fortune is mine
Just maybe in my time
I'll go rollin' on the river if you please
Take your stand
And see it through
Feel the game
That you must play
Got my bad reputation
Not my mode of operation
When you're flowin' on the river anyway
Wanna be a dead man
I can't leave the last town
Raise me with your right
Or bring me to my knees
Call me in the mornin'
A little bit of fame and glory
When you drown in the river
Just like me
I ain't seen the sun
Since i don't know when
And only got notes
Where i have been
Gotta feed the fire
Or somethin' everday
You know i'm gonna drown on the river anyway
Put your hand on the bible
Live or die on what you say
Fame and fortune is mine
I been a wastin' all my time
I'm goin' down on the river anyway
Fame and fortune is mine
Been wastin' all my time
I'll go down on the river anyway
Gonna go down
Gonna go down
Gonna fall at your feet your mine
Down on the river
Down on the river
