lyrics

I got roughed up by them mustangs down in Memphis, Tennessee / where the river runs dry and the women all livin' offa OxyContin dreams / I said maybe baby it's just me / but there's a prowler down by the stream / I'm going down to the river just to wash myself clean / I'm going down on the banks of Galilee /

I struck outta luck in Washington, with a gun against my throat / I said maybe she's a poet, but it's all murder that she wrote / She left me with a five dollar bill and a rabbit skin overcoat / I'm going down in the pines / in the pines / gonna let it shine on down, gonna let it shine /

I bought some $10 boots in Houston from a speed freak named Suzanne / She was jumpin' up into the chimney, coming back down in the frying pan / I said, baby, maybe you should lay off that tin foil and the match / and clean up all that garbage you got laying out 'round back / I'm going down East Colfax for a bag and some gin / I'm going down just to see what kinda shape I'm in /

I got robbed by a federal policeman, down in southern Mexico / He thought I was drunk but I was just on a mescaline roll / Now if you can't find the truth that I buried deep in this song / you can go down to the river just to prove me wrong /
