lyrics

What makes you think I can't live without you
I'd rather spend my nights alone
What makes you think I'd lay down and die

I couldn't sleep without layin beside you
Feelin your warm golden hair on my chest
But I'd awake to the same old mess

Ohhh, heartless liven go on and leave me alone
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home

I never dreamed I'd be livin without you
Missin that warm sweet flush on my face
But in the end we were one disgrace

You slid on back like a snake in the evening
Wrapping yourself and your charms round my neck
Times you left I would beg you back

Ohhh, heartless livin go on and leave me alone
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home

Ohhh, heartless liven go on and leave me alone
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home

I prayed to gods of my understanding
Searched for gurus in your place
And even now I can crave your taste

Fill up my body with wheat and water
Take all the bounty this good earth will give
I only got one more life to live

Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home
