because i like the place where the river's brown
and the season's kind to the weatherman
and the sunny days won't break a record
and i wouldn't want to leave this town
though i didn't need the fever that you bring

so call inside i will make you see
that better sense is coming by
though the cast is full i'm ready to fall out
there's resistance in the roadhouse
though distance was the reason that you bring

cause i've been told
no you're never gonna get on your feet again
no your never gonna get on your feet again

i've been i've been
where your thoughts were holy
i've seen the common rain
I've known i've known
bitterness between you
but you found hope again
cast off your hand me downs
cause you've been told
no your never gonna get on your feet again
no your never gonna get on your feet again
