[Verse 1] Tailgate Rattling Behind City trouble on the line, porch lights shining through the Georgia pines, reading out the Story in the weather lines With that coup riding in the passenger seat Best damn companion that You'll ever meet Sun going down on another hard day Nothing in this valley could take this away Cool country breeze rollin' off the creek Simple kind of peace that the wanderers see [Verse 2] Down where the river runs deep Promises that an honest An engine keeps turning with 100,000 miles An old hound sleeping while the radio smiles Dust and grease on the coat Still hum every single word that the singer Years roll by like an old freight train Throw the bitter winter in the harvest rain Some things break and some things rust But the good things stay in the red clay dust Take your time, let the evening fade Best things in life are the ones handmade [Verse 3] Down where the river runs deep Promises that an honest man will keep Hand on the wheel and the good Lord above Laughing on the simple things that we love Down where the river runs deep
