Well I'm going back
To that great old highway
Where the muddy roads get washed out
Into the riverbanks
Heard the water's rising fast now
Heard it's nothing like they've seen
Well, I guess I'm going back now
'Cause I've been feeling much the same

Well once I had a home
In that lowdown river town
But now I'm a stranger
To everyone around
Whole world keeps on spinning
You can try to hold on too
I was gone 'fore the first frost
In the pale November dew

Well I'm going down
Where the river meets the sea
Yeah, I'm gonna make a low bed
Where the water's running deep
The seasons keep on changing
Like an endless melody
Every moment passes
Like a wave to the beach
