Hey, can I take you on a date?
It's a perfect Summer day
And I know a place
I got two kayaks strapped to my little car
And I packed a little bar in my bag
So why don't we just spend the day
On the Raccoon River
She said "honey you're kayak is running kind of funny"
Then she tipped me over
So I had to get even first
Then we rode downstream
Rolling 'round banks
'Til we found one that seemed good and fitting
To sit and talk and eat and drink
On the Raccoon River bank
We got nothing to race against
But the midday sun
So we'll take it at our own pace
'Til we say we're done
The river changes throughout the days, weeks, and years
But it ain't going nowhere soon
So long as it flows true
I'll be singing Raccoon River Blues
So long as it flows true
I'll be singing Raccoon River Blues
