I started out by the river
Charred old glory Sunday morning
I started out by the river
Charred old glory, yeah
It washed me down to the city
Bright lights beaming, float downstream, it
Washed me down to the city
Bright lights beaming, yeah
I met a sidewalk survivor
Washed in bad blood, saved by hard luck
I met a sidewalk survivor
And this he said to me
He told me God bless the jobless
As their fate flow, so we all go
He told me God bless the jobless
watch their fate flow yeah
Another flooded stream, another stolen dream
Another requiem for the driven snow
Well I was in my place, I was saving face
From sins inflicted on me years ago
I'm gonna bury my hatchet
Silt and soft sand, sawed off marshlands
I'm gonna bury my hatchet
Silt and soft sand, yeah
You'll find me down by the river
Charred old glory Sunday morning
You'll find me down by the river
Charred old glory, yeah
