Show Me the Way to the River

about

From back in the day, when I was working with guitarist Ken Shima. Our two-man band was called Medicine Bone.

lyrics

Show Me the Way to the River

wipe this grin off of my face
help me leave without a trace
give the wound a little more salt
tell the world it's not my fault
show me the way to the river

every beast i tried to kiss
crossed me off the witness list
they said that i was out there on the fringe
but i was just on a little ten year binge
show me the way to the river

another day another dog
i'm jumping like some hopped up frog
mouth agape and arms akimbo
i'm gonna punch my way out of this limbo
show me the way to the river

tell the girls i need to dance
cheek to cheek halfway to France
then shorten up your sidelong glance
and chalk it all up to circumstance
show me the way to the river

the river Jordan the river Nile
the Mississippi runs a million miles
the river Thames the river Po
i'm gonna cross every river you know
show me the way
show me the way
show me the way to the river
to the river
