about

Floatin down the river is about passing thru the human condition while maintaining some body integrity.

lyrics

Floatin down the river

Floatin down the river in my dead mans shoes
Dodgin all the debris screaming from the pews
hopin for a miracle but really needing two
hold on little darlin we got one more left to lose

Everything is changing not everything is new
landscapes re-arrangin traditions come unglued
Momma has her medicine and Daddy has the blues
All we took with us is our hog tied views

Flail’in down the river with the madhouse blues
cursing at the system, its cruelty and abuse
hopin that the oars don’t break and hoping for some news
pinin for a warm spot where I can dry my shoes

Hopin that the shit don’t rise and hoping for some clues
lookin for some landfall where I can park my blues
give us back our barbesol and give us back our shoes
now the rivers rising and there’s reckoning to do

Drowning in a river of our own refuse
graspin for intentions really ain’t no use
someone throw a line before it ain’t no good
I’m going down again I’m on my last breath too


There needs to be a reckoning there needs to be a truth
something to hold onto and something to abuse
ain’t no tears like yester tears its time to bust it loose
come on pretty momma its time for us to choose

Bobbin down the river with the cowboy blues
water logged and sinkin in my dead man shoes
thinkin that I’d run my luck and thinkin that I’m done
Father son and holy ghost the stalinists have won

There needs to be a reckoning there needs to be a truth
something to hold onto and something to abuse
give us back our barbasol and give us back our shoes
now the rivers rising and there’s reckoning to do
