Down By The River

It's Friday night

And the football game starts around 7:30

I shower up and put on my boots

Even though they're a little dirty

Pick up my baby at around 6:10

For a little pre-game fun

Buzzer sounds at the end of 4th quarter

And away we run

Chorus:

To that spot down by the river

Where worries ain't go no place to hang around

There'll be skinny dippin' & moon shine sippin'

And everybody's partying

Down at that spot down by the river

It's Sunday morning

And we just left church

And we're looking for something to do

I said, "I heard those bass were runnin'"

Let's see if it's true

Me and Nate grab a couple of poles

And we call up the girls on the phone

Said get up out of that Sunday dress

Your mama won't know you're gone

Chorus:

To that spot down by the river

Where worries ain't got no place to hang around

There'll be skinny dippin, and moon shine sippin'

And everybody's partying

Down at that spot down by the river

Well there's true love growin' straight off the vine

And a brand new bottle of sweet red wine

Try real hard for maybe just one kiss

Chorus:

At that spot down by the river

Where worries ain't got no place to hang around

There'll be skinny dippin, and moon shine sippin

And everybody's partying

Down at that spot down by the river

At that spot down by the river

Down by the river
