The CrossingWe lay down by the trestle bridge That crosses Thompson's Creek I put a nickel on the track As a tear ran down her cheek Next thing I knew she was with child I tried to walk the line But that line was made for crossing And I crossed it many times Chorus: She named her daughter River Cause she washed away our sins Sometimes the very place it starts Is the very place it ends I worked the boats at Folly Beach Where all the tourists drown One night I stole a Camaro Knocked some parking meters down I was hoping for probation It was my first offense But the judge threw the book at me When he saw them from the bench Chorus: She named her daughter River Cause she washed away our sins Sometimes the very place it starts Is the very place it ends He sent me to the state prison Up here on Hard Luck Ridge And from the window in my cell I can see that trestle bridge Chorus: She named her daughter River Cause she washed away our sins Sometimes the very place it starts Is the very place it ends Copyright Kent Newsome All Rights Reserved |
