Songtexte Just Across The River [Feat. Celisse] - Gov't Mule

Just across the river
A good life waits on the other side
Can't float here forever
You know it's too deep and wide

Just across the river
People are smiling so carefree
I've been told I can redeem my soul
New world waiting for me

All my life I've been short-changed
Nobody wants to hear a poor boy complain
Work like a slave to stay out of the rain
Then they closed the factory down
Yeah, they closed the factory down

But just across the river (just across the river)
You don't need a job, time is free (just across the river)
Work if you wanna
The sun is warm and the air is sweet

Just across the river
Clouds are calling out your name
All you need is the blood you bleed
Don't need no fortune or fame

Can't you see it getting closer day by day?
Golden rainbow is headed your way
(No more wandering) no more wandering, you're there to stay
You can lay your burdens down
You can lay your burdens down

Just across the river (just across the river)
Building a warm fire every night
Ooh, just across the river (just across the river)
The wind is calm and the moon is bright

Sweet, sweet music
Ringing through the valley, shaking the trees
My clothes are packed and I ain't coming back
Don't come looking for me

Ain't nobody singing no sad songs
Tired of walking, you can rest your bones
Your wandering spirit is never again to roam
They're calling you home
Yeah, they're calling you home

Ain't nobody singing no sad songs
Tired of walking, oh, you can rest your bones
Your wandering spirit (your spirit) never again to roam
They're calling you home
Yeah, they're calling you home
Just across the river

Just across the

Oh, oh
