Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rain on the river, I'm soaking wet
Waiting on a friend who ain't come yet
And he might not get here for three or four days
Got to make a little bit go a long way
[Verse 2]
I've got a blond-headed woman who likes to come around
Cute little hippy girl lives in town
Brings a bag of records and she plays 'em till dawn
Give me little loving then she got to go home
[Verse 3]
When times are hard
When you start feeling low
Let yourself go
When the river's rising
And the world feels cold
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
[Verse 4]
I got a 442 sittin' in the sun
Well, it'd been ten years since she used to run
But man, she was a beauty in '69
But there ain't no more coming down the line
[Verse 5]
When times are hard
And you start feeling low
Let yourself go
When the river's rising
And your world feels cold
Let yourself go
Honey, let yourself go
[Verse 6]
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
