[Intro] Mm-hm We movin’ slow By the river yard [Verse 1] Morning on the corner Palm trees bendin’ low Mama by the stall Fanning plantain glow Old man in a chair Smilin’ at the rain Even when it pours We keep the rhythm plain [Pre-Chorus] So swing that shoulder Step back, come near Trouble lose its grip When the bass come clear [Verse 2] Shoes on dusty road Dust on a red bike frame Kids play marbles Callin’ out your name Neighbor in the doorway Passin’ sugar tea Everybody knows How to let it be [Break] Hey, hey Ease up now Easy, easy [Pre-Chorus] So swing that shoulder Step back, come near Trouble lose its grip When the bass come clear [Chorus] River yard skank Move your feet River yard skank Feel that heat Side to side Let it breathe River yard skank Stay with me [Bridge] When the night get long And the moon hang tight We trade those heavy words For a dance in white Take the load off, love Lay it down, lay it down One sweet turn Can turn it all around [Solo] [Instrumental break] [Break] Oh-oh No hurry now No hurry now [Verse 3] Roof catch golden light Tin drum ringing near Auntie on the steps Laughin’ through the fear News can shake the town But it can’t shake this ground Every little heart Find a way to sound [Pre-Chorus] So swing that shoulder Step back, come near Trouble lose its grip When the bass come clear [Chorus] River yard skank Move your feet River yard skank Feel that heat Side to side Let it breathe River yard skank Stay with me [Verse 4] Aftermarket moon Over mango skin You and I go slow Let the night come in Not a fancy scene Just a working grace One more spinning step And a smiling face [Break] Hey, hey Ease up now Easy, easy [Bridge] When the night get long And the moon hang tight We trade those heavy words For a dance in white Take the load off, love Lay it down, lay it down One sweet turn Can turn it all around [Chorus] River yard skank Move your feet River yard skank Feel that heat Side to side Let it breathe River yard skank Stay with me [Solo] [Instrumental break] [Break] Oh-oh No hurry now No hurry now [Bridge] Morning on the corner Palm trees bendin’ low What we got together Is the way we go [Pre-Chorus] So swing that shoulder Step back, come near Trouble lose its grip When the bass come clear [Outro] River yard skank River yard skank Stay with me Stay with me
