Lyrics
I see rivers overflowin
it's different now cause i'm way down south
critters chirpin i'm thinking bout
cryin kids, leavin wives, dead dogs
i seen livers overloading
it's different now, i'm on my way down south
critters whistlin i'm thinking bout
crying kids, weavin wives, red dogs
everytime i come here i swear i'm never coming back
everytime i come here i tell my friends again i aint never comin back and with a little luck
just a little bit of luck you know
i'll see rivers overflowin
