Up late with her hollowed out eyes

All the way to the river

Trying every last trouble on for size

All the way to the river

Who knows what she's gonna do

All the way to the river

Not up to me, not up to you

All the way to the river

Fumbling for the keys to her car

All the way to the river

Empty bottles only go so far

All the way to the river

Straight down Broadway, three A.M.

All the way to the river

She's gone way past calling a friend

All the way to the river

All the way to the river

Down to the bottom where the catfish moan

All the way to the river

Dirty Nashville

That's her home

Mama don't you worry 'bout me

Scribbled down with a fleur-de-lis

How's she gonna get through this night

How's she ever gonna be alright Hmm

All the way to the river

Down to the bottom where the catfish moan

All the way to the river

Dirty Nashville

That's her home

It takes cowardice and courage too

All the way to the river

To leave this town before you're through

All the way to the river

All the way to the river

Down to the bottom where the catfish moan

All the way to the river

Dirty Nashville

That's her home

All the way to the river

That's her home
