I got life, mother
I got laughs, sister
I got freedom, brother
I got good times, man
I got crazy ways, daughter
I got million-dollar charm, cousin
I got headaches and toothaches
And bad times too
Like you
I got my hair
I got my head
I got my brains
I got my ears
I got my eyes
I got my nose
I got my mouth
I got my teeth
I got my tongue
I got my chin
I got my neck
I got my tits
I got my heart
I got my soul
I got my back
I got my ass
I got my arms
I got my hands
I got my fingers
Got my legs
I got my feet
I got my toes
I got my liver
Got my blood
I got my guts (I got my guts)
I got my muscles (muscles)
I got life (life)
Life (life)
Life (life)
LIFE!
Climbing under a barbed wire fence by the railroad ties
climbing over the old stone wall I am bound for the riverside
well I go to the river to soothe my mind ponder over the crazy days of my life just sit and watch the river flow
find a place on the riverbank where the green rushes grow see the wind in the willow tree in the branches hanging low
well I go to the river to soothe my mind to ponder over the crazy days of my life watch the river flow ease my mind and my soul where I go
well I will go to the river from time to time wander over these crazy days in my mind watch the river flow where the willow branches grow by the cool rolling waters moving gracefully and slow
child it's lovely let the river take it all away the mad pace, the hurry the troubles, the worries just the river take them all away flow away
