Follow the river down through the valley To where the wild fires kissed the factory walls Past the church where my folks were married It didn't last of course they never do And I spent so many nights with the writing on the wall Walked the crooked path and bypassed it all Between the devil and the deep I find my own Between the devil and the deep I'll lay my head, I'm home Between the devil and the deep I find my own Between the devil and the deep I'll call it home Take the car upstate and cross the border To where I hear the pontoons bump and spray Oh what a blast it is to be breathing But still your attitude and shoes are so passe Ride the rail road tracks into your city Looking for an old familiar face Hey man how ya doin' it's been a while Yet nothing changes in this here shitty town
