All the Way to the River Lyrics by John Hiatt

The Eclipse Sessions

2018

Up late with the hollowed out eyes
All the way to the river
Trying every last trouble on for size
All the way to the river
Who knows what she's gonna do
All the way to the river
Not up to me, not up to you
All the way to the river
Fumbling for the keys to her car
All the way to the river
Empty bottles only go so far
All the way to the river
Straight down Broadway, 3 AM
All the way to the river
She's gone way past calling a friend
All the way to the river
All the way to the river
Down on the bottom where the catfish moan
All the way to the river
Dirty Nashville that's her home
Mama don't you worry 'bout me, hmm
Scribbled down with a fleur-de-lis, hmm
But how she gonna get through this night, hmm
How she ever gonna be alright, hmm
All the way to the river
Down on the bottom where the catfish moan
All the way to the river
Dirty Nashville that's her home
It takes cowardice and courage too
All the way to the river
To leave this town before you're through
All the way to the river
All the way to the river
Down on the bottom where the catfish moan
All the way to the river
Dirty Nashville that's her home
All the way to the river
Down on the bottom where the catfish moan
All the way to the river
Dirty Nashville that's her home
All the way to the river
That's her home
All the way to the river
That's her home
All the way to the river
That's her home
