Cairo, Il

Well the town's a [?] when you're upside down

You lay your bones on a bed, it's that easy

To have a kind of home

Where the money goes, I know too well

Spreads out like the jobs, I've worked so many

The hard days don't seem to end

Well I'm wasting time, wasting time

And I only know one way to go to start again

Let it roll, let it roll down the banks of the Ohio

When you can't rely on what you make to pay the rent on time

So I'm goin' away down to the [?]

Oh way down there in Cairo, Illinois I'm gonna stay

Now what do you say when the bottle falls out

You try to make amends with anybody

That ever caused you pain

It's no fault of mine that it should end this way

And I won't apologize to anybody

For a thing that I can't change

See I'm used to bein' along, used to bein' alone

See it's the only way that I know how to get to where I'm goin'

Let it roll, let it roll down the banks of the Ohio

When you can't rely on what you make to pay the rent on time

So I'm goin' away down to the [?]

Oh way down there in Cairo, Illinois I'm gonna stay

Woah Cairo, you build your levees tall

I wanna sit beside the water and forget about it all

Let it roll, let it roll down the banks of the Ohio

When you can't rely on what you make to pay the rent on time

So I'm goin' away down to the [?]

Oh way down there in Cairo, Illinois I'm gonna stay
