Riverside Blues

Chainsmoking these Camels
won't get me nowhere
I look out the window
But she ain't never there;
And its my Riverside blues;
my Riverside blues

Drinking old Nattie Ice
Won't make me feel better
Just fucks me up so that
I can't write this letter
that I'll never send her
About my Riverside Blues!

Its my heart she broke and my soul she stole;
Maybe I should get out and do something;
other than letting these drugs take their toll!
But Riverside blues are all rainy days bring!

Puffing this Mary Jane
Ain't gonna get me higher
My song remains the same:
Every woman's a liar!
I seek deeper into the blues:
These Riverside Blues!

Spiking the sinful Mexican Tar
Gets me more and more down;
Rehab holds no hope for a fool;
and in the Riverside Blues I drown;
I drown in my Riverside Blues
In my Riverside Blues

Its my dreams she took, 'long with my will to live;
Maybe I should get my ass off of the couch;
These drugs are killing me but I take comfort in what they give;
And Riverside blues are all rainy days bring!
