River Boys Lyrics by Clementine Was Right

Tell Yourself You’re Going Home

0

[Verse]
Travis I guess was a pit boss, boys
At the tribal casino up the road
Caught his own son in a blackjack scam
Shot himself in his bathrobe
[Pre-Chorus]
Boys! Boys, boys, boys
Gotta gimme more than that
(Boys, boys, boys)
Meet me out back, out back
[Chorus]
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rest in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead
[Verse]
Clay was like “Hey! will I ever get out
Of this bison and Wal-Mart town?”
He lit himself on fire in the post office
Officer, I dream of his mouth
[Pre-Chorus]
Boys! Boys, boys, boys
Gotta gimme more than that
(Boys, boys, boys)
Meet me out back, out back
[Chorus]
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rеst in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the rivеr boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead
[Bridge]
Please don’t cry for me boys, cry in your soft white beds
Please don’t cry for me boys, tell a joke to a stranger instead
Please don’t cry for me boys, the river always wanted to be red
Please don't cry for me boys, the river always wanted to be red
[Chorus]
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rest in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead
