I spend my nights down on the wharf
 In unlit alleyways
 By the church downtown
 Where Sally prays [bad word] down sometime
 We'll share [bad word] can of corn...
 And listen to the radio
 I love you, I love you, it says...

 [bad word] ]
 Where did your heart go
 Did you put it on a train
 Did you leave it in the rain
 Or down in Mexico

 You cry, but I don't know
 I've heard it all before
 There it goes again, the slamming of the door
 Sometimes the river calls me
 And at night it calls my name
 Says "put your troubles down beside me"
 Things have always been the same...
 And rock 'n' roll won't teach me
 What the river said that night
 I jumped into this beauty
 And drifted out of sight...

 [bad word]
