BACK TO THE RIVER As recorded by Susan Tedeschi (From the 2008 Album BACK TO THE RIVER) [Intro]     [Verse 1] Wake in a cold sweat Nightmare by my bed Waiting for the rider Wondering through my head Cause I’m a long way from home On the highway too long Got road dust in my mouth I need to head down south And get back to the river [Chorus] Back to the river Oh back to the river Back to the river to take my time So I can think about the little ones [Verse 2] Keep them in my heart Born in a bad storm Ain’t no good when we’re apart Well I miss their hugs And chasing lighting bugs They make me smile but it’s gonna take a little while To get back to the river [Chorus] Back to the river Oh back to the river Oh back to the river to take my time [Verse 3] There’s a full moon rising out tonight Might make be crazy but that’s all right Long as I find some peace of mine I’m going back to the river to take my time Where there’s a campfire going Warm breezes blowing Moss hanging from the trees I’ll have all that I need When I get back to the river [Outro] Oh back to the river Back to the river Oh back to the river Oh back now Oh lord I gotta gotta get back Lord lord back now Back to the river Oh back to the river right now Oh oh
