For 30 some odd years 
He's been riding this train 
I know what [bad word] from 
What are [bad word] from, my friend 
Since 1869 we've been traveling this way 
From Carolina, to California and back again 

East of the River Jordan, there's a place they say 
Where milk and honey flow 
All the people there know your name 
and the sun never goes away 
the sun never goes away 

Everywhere I've been, the story's always the same 
Your just surviving, 
praying to get through the end of the day 
At night I look up at the stars, floating miles away 
and dream of a river man  [bad word] to take my soul away 

East of the River Jordan, 
There's a place I've heard 
Where streets are made of gold 
You never grow old or grey 
The sun never goes away 
the sun never goes away
