I just got paid but I'm still broke
'Cause I spent all my money on liquor and smokes
I came home to a goodbye note
Goodbye was all she wrote
Goodbye was all she wrote
I want to drink my sorrows down
So I'll find a river, jump in, and drown
You can fish me up and drive me around
Then put me in the ground
Put me in the ground
But like a river, I will flow
Like a train, down these tracks I roll
Like a river, I will flow
Like a train, down these tracks I roll
Alarm went off, I pressed snooze
I was feeling bad about sleeping 'til noon
Felt so bad that I slept 'til two
Nothing better to do, oh God
There was nothing better to do
Life's kind of funny, so is death
We're just having one great big laugh
Future turns to present, present turns to past
Then you breathe your last
Then you breathe your last
But like a river, I will flow
Like a train, down these tracks I roll
Like a river, I will flow
Like a train, down these tracks I roll
Like a train, down these tracks I roll
