The Oak Ridge Boys - Gonna Take a Lot of River lyrics

I ain't gonna ride no rail
Or hitchhike down no highway
I ain't' going nowhere feeling the way I do
Because my baby's long gone and
Nothings going my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water
Just wash away my blues

It’s gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long day
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away

Well, I wish I was tug boat
Pushing and pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart
Made of iron and steel


There wouldn't be no women who could ever
Take my loving and do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing
In the world to feel

It’s gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long day
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away

Is she in New Orleans is she a cajun queen
I wonder what she's doing now
But if I know her she's got rings and furs
Struggling along somehow
Struggling along somehow

It’s gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long day
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away

It’s gonna take a lot of river
To keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long day
Gonna take the Mississippi
The Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away
It’s gonna take a lot of river
To wash these blues away
