Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 2]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 3]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 4]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 5]
You know I love getting up in the morning
When the sun first strikes the trees
All the morning birds that sing above
Still bring back memories
Of a girl who stood beside me
When the rights I did were wrong
But she went back down the river
Just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong
So I sing
[Verse 6]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 7]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 8]
She never told me why she left me
But the letter said goodbye
Now my mornings are for wondering
And my nights to reason why
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
Of a girl I had to hold
But she went back down the river
Just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong
So I sing
[Verse 9]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 10]
I sing
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 11]
I sing
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 12]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 13]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 14]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
[Verse 15]
I. O.
I. I. I. I. I. I. O.
I. O.
