Missing You Chris Knight

Slow train on the trestle, passing overhead
Cold campfire and an army blanket where I last laid my head
I got tobacco and I got bread to get me to Morgan-town
Gotta put a little distance between us but I think I'm losing ground

Down by the river, so green it's blue
Down by the river, I'm sure missing you

Mine's closed you turned cold and I couldn't make you stay
The more I tried to hold on, the more you turned away
Guess I coulda done better than fish and drink and mine
Tell me how things get tougher, all I know is tough times

Down by the river, so green it's blue
Down by the river, I'm sure missing you

I ran into your daddy, he's out running his line
Gave me a beer in a blue can, said I oughta come visit sometime
Rain crows cottonmouth, catfish and cane
Your name is on my every breath, your blood is in my veins

Down by the river, so green it's blue
Down by the river, I'm sure missing you
Down by the river, so green it's blue
Down by the river, I'm sure missing you
