Don't think about the clothes that you wear
Don't think about the wind moves your hair
Don't think about the reasons that make girls decide
I know where reasons are swept from your side
Down in the riverboat rotting by the pier
No one ever says so
But everyone's been there
Don't look up the at the stars shining bright
Don't dream about the places where we kissed all night
Though you show me any tears when I saw her arms
Don't look into the future I don't get what's goin' on
We're going down to the riverboat see how much we can
Down to the riverboat see a little there
Down to the riverboat now
Though we're sad about the way they tore us apart
Though we're sad about the fingers this hound's got
Once upon a time we took on our own lies
With a love in the dark and the sun in their eyes
We're going down to the riverboat see how much we can
Down to the riverboat see a little there
Down to the riverboat now
And down in the riverboat see if I could care
Which foreman's daughter would be spying on the pier
Down in the river a little sister could be there
Down in the riverboat
Right now
We're going down to the riverboat see how much we can
Down to the riverboat see a little there
Down to the riverboat now
