We sat down by the river
With our poles in hand
Telling lies about the summer
Making songs and making plans

And if you're down for the ride I'll take you there
To a place I know, I've gone throughout the years
Where you can forget your life and all that day to day
Yeah, we'll be living that southern way

So we walked down the broken highway
With our poles in hand
On our way to the simple
Making songs and making plans

If you're down for the ride I'll take you there
To a place I know, I've gone throughout the years
Where you can forget your life and all that day to day
Yeah, we'll be living that southern way

So I sat down on the pavement
Put my face in my hands
I lost a friend and could have saved him
Maybe someday he'll live again

If you're down for the ride I'll take you there
To a place I know, I've gone throughout the years
Where you can forget your life and all that day to day
Yeah, we'll be living that southern way

If you're down for the ride I'll take you there
To a place I know, I've gone throughout the years
Where you can forget your life and all that day to day
Yeah, we'll be living that southern way
