South of the River

I want to stay South of the River

With the chains and the gold

We could be out here together;

But, you have places to go

Watching the sunshine blaze the gray

I don't know why you wouldn't stay

You should come South of the River

Where the loving is gold

You should come South of the River

This is where it all starts

I think that we could stay here forever

Lie on the roof til' it's dark

And when the last bus pulls away

I swear that I almost heard you say

"I should move South of the River."

I want to get to know

I want to get to know, oh

I want to stay South of the River
