Lyrics The River and the Town - Mr. Highway Band

In a moment of love I saw terror and horror
Declarations of truth just behind my back
Brotherhood of man equality in slavery
Got to lose myself not to be accused

But I don′t live by the river
I live in town in a town of war

Both the river and the town in the middle of a war

In a moment of love I saw terror and horror
Declarations of truth just behind my back
Brotherhood of man equality in slavery
Got to lose myself not to be accused

But I don't live by the river
I live in town in a town of war

This is a song and a photograph
This is an ode to the lonely men
The last cigarette at the last hour of the day
This is an ode to the brave

Both the river and the town in the middle of a war

In a period of peace I saw thousands of soldiers
And a million of guns loaded just in case
Safety for all dignity is forgotten
Got to be creative not to be absorbed

But I don′t live by the river
I live in town in a town of war
