Lyrics
I travelled 'round, I settled down
And now I don't do things I used to do
I moved around from town to town
And now I don't do things I used to do
lt's a shame
I said to the King
I lost my direction
And he said "No boy,
you lost everything
that you need"
So steal it back, what you signed over
Know you're gettin' close
When you think that it's over
Float with me down the river
Float with me out to sea
Float with me down the river
'Cause you never ever wanted to
So if my shoulder's
for lookin' over
I still don't do the things
I used to do
I held the reins
That dealt the pain
And I still don't do things
I used to do
I'm not the same
I started to think
It's just my perception
And he said "No boy,
you've done everything
that you need"
So if I traded life
in search of stolen glory
Who would have thought
right now was the story?
Float with me down the river
Float with me out to sea
Float with me down the river
'Cause you never ever wanted to
They said I was John Wayne
Or even blood twisted Tarantino
I've burned all that I've learned
Too many deals on gambles
Soul Casinos
That deal such pain
So I wound it back
And thought it over
I think he's tryin' to say
"Life's a blood-stained
Four leaf clover"
So steal it back, what you signed over
Yeah you'll know when it's over
It's such a stolen glory
When what now was a story
Float with me down the river
Float with me out to see
Float with me down the river
'Cause you never ever wanted to
