The Riverbreaks - Caney Fork River Lyrics

Your father has a temper
Your brother has a trigger
Your ex-husband still makes you shiver
We'll roll 'em all into the Caney Fork River
And the mist will cover up so you don't remember

The moon has a habit of shaking your dreams
Making you sweat but you never feel clean
I'm racing straight toward you cuz I know you can't sleep
I'm driving I-40 crossing the Caney

You haven't been home since you left that night
Racing to your father with another black eye
He took one look at the bruises on your face
And added one more so you'd remember your place

The moon has a habit of shaking your dreams
Making you sweat but you never feel clean
I'm gonna take you on the lake where they flooded that town
We'll dive into the water let your worries sink down

I ain't like the other men that were in your life
I'm gonna love you till the day I die
When I pull you from the water and the moon's in your eyes
You'll be shining like a pearl, I'll be holding you tight
Shining like a pearl, I'll be holding you tight
The last of the river pearls in the moonlight

The moon has a habit of shaking your dreams
Making you sweat but you never feel clean
I'm racing straight toward you cuz I know you can't sleep
I'm driving I-40 crossing the Caney
The moon has a habit of shaking your dreams
Making you sweat but you never feel clean
I'm gonna take you on the lake the
I'm gonna take you on the lake where they flooded that town
We'll dive into the water let your worries sink down

Crossing the Caney
Crossing the Caney
Crossing the Caney
Crossing the Caney
Crossing the Caney
