Stop your pretending
|
Listen to what I've got to say
|
How your head's went away
|
Only here for a day
|
And that grave I just made
|
Is for me when I get paid
|
|
Won't you wait a while
|
Move to the blue
|
Sometimes people don't want to say
|
Old time dancers don't die that way
|
See that grave I've just made
|
It's for me when I get paid
|
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river
|
Somebody like you
|
|
Do you love and surrender
|
Sometimes I don't feel I can remember
|
I think it's fair to mention
|
About the days when I get paid
|
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river
|
Somebody like you
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river
|
Somebody like you
|
|
I want a little loving
|
I told you all to listen
|
But you never liked what you heard
|
I take what I am given
|
This may sound absurd
|
I share a double vision
|
That started the transition
|
|
Hey where's jimmy jazz
|
Steady on the scale
|
|
I told you to listen
|
I told you all to listen
|
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river
|
Somebody like you
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river
|
Somebody like you
|
|
You know that somebody
|
You know that somebody
|
You know that somebody
|
But it ain't you
|

Hold Back The River
