About
This authentic Blues track captures the essence of Southern juke joint soul with a shuffling 12/8 groove, gritty electric guitar bends, and soulful harmonica calls. Raw production emphasizes emotional depth through sparse verses building to fuller choruses, evoking the smoky intimacy of a late-night lament. The narrative unfolds a tale of lost love and wandering redemption, delivered with weathered male vocals that ache with authenticity.
Lyrics
I'll see you next time. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Who's got me In the pouring rain Walk down that dusty road Heart heavy as lead Walk down that dusty road Heart heavy as lead Searching for forgiveness Forgiveness Words left unsaid Oh, the river runs deep Carrying my pain The river runs deep Calling out my name River blue's got me In the pouring rain Oh, the river runs deep Found me a bottle Under the old oak tree Found me a bottle Under the old oak tree Drowning these memories Setting my spirit free Oh, the river runs deep Oh, the river runs deep Carrying my pain The river runs deep Calling out my name River blue's got me Got me In the pouring rain River keeps flowing Take me away River blue's lingered Till it's gone Till another day River blue's lingered Till another day River blue's lingered Till another day River blue's lingered Till another day Till another day River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered River blue's lingered
