Malcolm Holcombe - Down The River Lyrics

They make the laws
To suit themselves
The ones that buy and sell the rest
Of us down the river
The rest of us
Don't need the touch
Of takin' more than just enough to get
By down the river
Down the river
We pray for one another
Down the river
We hold on to our dreams
Down the river
The hard times makes us stronger to get by
And leave this world behind
Down the river
A bed to lay
Me down at night
And for workin' hands to hold you tight
My darlin' and me down the river
Now far away
The mem'ries of
Simple days remainin' in
Our broken hearts down the river
The gifts of little ones we love
Our faith in us and God above
They will last forever
Down the river

They make the laws
To suit themselves
The ones that buy and sell the rest
Of us down the river
The rest of us
Don't need the touch
Of takin' more than just enough to get
By down the river
Down the river
We pray for one another
Down the river
We hold on to our dreams
Down the river
The hard times makes us stronger to get by
And leave this world behind
Down the river
A bed to lay
Me down at night
And for workin' hands to hold you tight
My darlin' and me down the river
Now far away
The mem'ries of
Simple days remainin' in
Our broken hearts down the river
The gifts of little ones we love
Our faith in us and God above
They will last forever
Down the river
