Well take me back down where cool water flows, y'all
Let me remember things I love
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite

Walkin' along the river road at night

Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me
Wonder if my ropes still hangin' to the tree
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across green river
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody Junior took me over
Said, you're gonna find the world is smoulderin'
And if you get lost, come on home to green river

Oh Lord! Stuck in Lodi again
Rode in on the Greyhound, but I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord! I'm stuck in Lodi again
The man from the magazine said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord! Stuck in Lodi again

Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind
Pullin' out from the platform, there was no brass band
I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand
And there were no tears of regret, from my runaway train
Train, train, train, train

Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down
Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down
I'm just a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run
Run, run, run, run

If you see me a-comin', don't you waste my time
If you see me a-comin', don't you waste my time
'Cause there's more miles between us, than the Santa Fe Line
Run, run, run, run

And the moon is hate

Come and take my hand
Burn away the goodness
You and I remain
Did you see the last war?
Well, here I am again
Sinister Purpose
Knockin' at your door
Come and take my hand
I can set you free
Make you rice and wise
We can live forever
Look into my eyes
Sinister Purpose
Knockin' at your door
Come and take my hand
