Down This River Lyrics by Crypt

2019

[Intro]
Well I'll ride on down this river
With a man who stabbed me in the back
But he don't know I know what he's done to me
And we'll ride on down this river
He ain't the only one who knows how to act
I can do it too and you best believe

[Verse 1]
Riding down this river, all these things that I remember
He don't know a thing, kinda like me when I asked for him to mentor:
"Me and my girl are having problems, I don't know what's going on
Can you talk to her man? And find out where things went wrong?
I've done everything I can to try to make this girl content
I even bought the perfume she wanted that has the special scent
The one that smells like mint, I even got her lipstick too
Her favorite shade of blue, dude, what do I gotta do?"
He said:
"I got you bro, don't you worry, I'm your best pal
I'd take a bullet for you, man I hope you work things out
But for now I gotta go, I'll make sure to give her a call
Let's hang out later bro and we can talk about it all"
So a few hours passed and we met up outside
He gave me a hug and laughed and said she was just fine
But he turned around, and there was blue on his neck
And he smelled like mints, and now he's going in the ground

[Chorus]
Well I'll ride on down this river
With a man who stabbed me in the back
But he don't know I know what he's done to me
And we'll ride on down this river
He ain't the only one who knows how to act
I can do it too and you best believe

[Verse 2]
So I looked him in his soul, and I knew he had to go
I said hey man the fish are biting, go grab some poles
I'll get mine out the camper, and then I'll meet you on the boat
I grabbed my gun from the mattress and tucked it to my side to stow
So we head on down the river to his favorite fishing hole
The one he showed me months ago, the one that nobody knows
He really likes to keep secrets, well I've got one of my own
Two of us are on this boat, but only one's going home
So I shut off the motor and turned to my friend and I said:
"I've got a secret man, can you keep it until the very end?"
He said: "I got you man, what kind of secrets are on your mind?"
I said: "I wanna shoot you dead for messing with my future wife"
And he tried to deny, but I reached to my side
And grabbed my nine and pulled back the slide
I aimed it high, right between his eyes
And said: "Two can keep a secret, but one of them has to die"

[Chorus]
So I'll ride on down this river
With a man who stabbed me in the back
But he don't know I know what he's done to me
And we'll ride on down this river
He ain't the only one who knows how to act
I can do it too and you best believe
