Ferry Song

Since it's too late to stay here, maybe I can take up a seat It's gettin' hard to keep walking with those phrases on repeat Sure as high times in summer roll into heartache in fall If I get over that river, babe, I'll run blindly through it all Come on down Come on down You might be the only one It was almost time for bed, and I tried to keep from wonderin' Something so close, it was too easy to see The image of that one girl, the one that left me gunned down Showed herself in to keep me company And with the motor in my head that won't stop runnin' The hand in my pocket that won't leave me be And that storm in my belly, you know, it just keeps on thunderin' And it won't hush until you drift to me So come on down Come on down You might be the only one You're my good luck charm The smoke that never left my lungs You're the only one There's a ferry on the river Taking me from here to you And there's a fifty in a forty-five, that's all you need to know Two dollars ain't too bad when you've got nowhere to go But if I keep on thinkin' how the hell I got here alone I may never know what could be And I won't find out until you drift to me
