Quick, burn it down to the wick
Quick, burn it down to the wick
Burn it down to the heart
Burn it down to the heart
So the ending can start

Here, behind the riverhaus door
Here, behind the riverhaus door
With an unloaded gun
With an unloaded gun
And an unsettled score
And an unsettled score

Well Ill never drag this river
Well Ill never drag this river
Ill never drag this river x2
Ill never drag this river x2
Ill never drag this river down
Ill never drag this river down

You, nothin comes to you slow
You, nothin comes to you slow
Nothin comes to you hard
Nothin comes to you hard
Though you beg like youre hard
Though you beg like youre hard

And me, dont shake the barrel ar me
And me, dont shake the barrel ar me
And dont treat idle threats
And dont treat idle threats
Like you treat all your friends
Like you treat all your friends

Well Ill never drag this river
Well Ill never drag this river
Ill never drag this river x2
Ill never drag this river x2
Ill never drag this river down
Ill never drag this river down

And if you walk out that door
And if you walk out that door
Dont come back
Dont come back
Because therell be no door
Because therell be no door

And if you walk out that door
And if you walk out that door
Silence greets you
Silence greets you
Silence, will be yours
Silence, will be yours

I hear ya callin from a long distant shore
I hear ya callin from a long distant shore
But you wont come back, [well / cause] you cant come back
But you wont come back, [well / cause] you cant come back

The waters risin and the levee is not sure
The waters risin and the levee is not sure
And you wont be found, no you cant be found
And you wont be found, no you cant be found

Drag this river down
