Gabe Lee - Great Big River Lyrics

Great Big River
Gabe Lee

I've sung sad songs all my life
Honest words turned to lies
But If I were keener, then I'd learn to talk with a smileThereby rendering your very heart to melt away
I've left women at the door
Wonderin what they loved me for
Cries out the dreamer, hell if I'm doin this anymoreGuess I just grown tired of trying to get you to seeNothings ever what it used to be

Ohio River won't you take me home?
Lead me where the sunshine goes every night.
Fly me there, take me to a place somewhere,
I'm hoping I can hide my fears for once in a while
All I can do is hope and pray I'll be a better man someday
Great Big River, wash these blues away.

So try to hold on all you can
Sleepin pills and wedding bands
Whatever should come along y'all
Whatever shit should hit the fan
At least you'll get a better look at all the fun that you had
Cause I've known sinners to believe
In countin cards and time machines
So if you're an angel would you shine your little light over me?
I'll be wearing all the clothes that I got
Washing dishes in the belly of a restaurant
Singin

Ohio River won't you take me home?
Lead me where the sunshine goes every night.
Fly me there, take me to a place somewhere,
I'm hoping I can hide my fears for once in awhile
All I can do is hope and pray I'll be a better man someday
Great Big River, wash these blues.
Lord wash them away
Great Big River Wash these blues
Lord wash them away.
Great Big River, wash these blues.
Away
