lyrics

Passing a slow moving train
On the banks of the river it's starting to rain
Vultures circle overhead in the gray

A boat with another in tow
Goes cruising up the river against the flow
The channel markers bobbing to and fro

I'm going home to my true love
My true love waits for me
I went to hear a sound
Now I'm making up some ground
Driving back from Albany
Albany

Trees pause for the farmer
Who's out tilling the last of her soil
The paper beside her says
Oh the Gulf just filled with oil

A butterfly plasters the windshield
Approaching clear skies near Watertown
On the stereo
Don't let it bring you down

Chorus

The same thing happens everytime I go away
The words aren't coming but you got something to say
Well I don't know what you're thinking about
But I'm trying to figure it out
No I don't want to feel like this another day

Chorus
