Take Me To The River
Al Green / Mabon Hodges - Al Green Music / JEC Pub. - BMI
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the things that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen why I should forget
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, yea yea
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
I don't know why she treat me so bad
After all the things that we could've had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, I'd love to stay
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
Hold me, love me, please me, squeeze me
Oh, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, I can't take no more
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
{Rod - Solo}
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Driven
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
How long can a girl keep goin'
Like every day's the last
I've paid off the rent and the government
Maybe I could pay off the past
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night
