RIVER TOWN song lyrics 
by Joel Sattler 


river town 
river town 

I left home 
back in '68 
swore I'd come back 
but now it's much too late 

the water is rising 
against the dawn 
and pretty soon 
it will all be gone 

river town 
river town 

once there were farms 
surrounding the town 
a main square and a statue 
and happy sounds 

but the Mississippi 
is merciless 
and wipes away 
all that she has blessed 

river town 
river town 

my neighbors were good people 
went to church every Sunday 
praising the Lord 
but they didn't know one day 

the floods would come 
no matter how they prayed 
and that all their prayers 
would be washed away 

river town 
river town 

a place on earth 
of love and peace 
but the muddy blood 
it will not cease 

the will of God 
overwhelms us all 
and in the end 
we all are so small 

river town 
river town
