Take me to the river, set me on the sand Underneath the thawed pine tree with a cane Holdin' my hand, I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze Take me to the river, and honey, set me free Lately it seems to me the walls are closin' in And I don't care if I ever see this factory again I'm just a country boy, I hope you'll understand Take me to the river, and set me on the sand Take me to the river, set me on the sand Underneath the thawed pine tree with a cane Holdin' my hand, I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze Take me to the river, and honey, set me free Take me to the river, and set me on the sand Underneath the thawed pine tree with a cane Holdin' my hand, I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze Take me to the river, and honey, set me free Take me to the river, and set me on the sand Underneath the thawed pine tree with a cane Holdin' my hand, I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze Take me to the river, and honey, set me free Take me to the river, and set me on the sand Underneath the thawed pine tree with a cane Holdin' my hand, I long to feel the comfort of a country breeze Take me to the river, and honey, set me free Take me to the river, and honey, set me free *
