I want to stay south of the river With the chains and the gold We could be out here together But, you have places to go Watching the sunshine blaze the gray I don't know why you wouldn't stay You should come south of the river Where the loving is gold You should come south of the river This is where it all starts I think that we could stay here forever Lie on the roof 'til it's dark And when the last bus pulls away I swear that I almost heard you say "I should move south of the river" I want to get to know I want to get to know, oh I want to stay south of the river
