Shit River Lyrics by Barney Cortez

Hullabaloo

2022

[Verse 1]
City life, sure as hell brings you down
Got no car, I got no drive to get out
Dirty rags, plastic bags at my feet
The fast food trash, it's blowing like tumbleweed
[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
I can see, I can see, I can see
All the lights in the sky, yeah
I gotta leave this place behind
I don't know why I get the shivers
When I look across the shit river, river, river
Watch it rollin' by
Uh-uh-huh
[Verse 2]
In the summertime
I got no shade in the trees
Goin' outta their minds
Crackheads workin' the street
It's all we know, rollin' around like a pig
I say I'm free
'Cause I'm living off of the grid
[Chorus]
When the sun goes down (When the sun goes down)
I can see, I can see, I can see (Yeah)
All the lights in the sky, yeah
I gotta leave this place behind (I gotta leave this place)
Don't know why I get the shivers
When I look across the shit river, river, river
Watch it rollin' by
Uh-uh-huh
