[Verse 1] Take me back again where the cold streams roll, yeah Let me recall those days that warmed my soul Leanin' on the riverbank where the catfish roam Walkin' down the old dirt road when the night has come Barefoot dancers movin' underneath the moon [Verse 2] I hear that old bullfrog singin' through the night, yeah Wonder if my weathered rope is still tied up tight I used to wade my feet through the shallow water Watchin' dragonflies drift farther and farther Grab a little river stone and send it skippin' free Across the silver surface of the Green River [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Down at Cody's place I spent my younger days, Lord Watchin' freight trains thunder through the summer haze Old Cody Junior pulled me to his side Said, "The world gets rough, son, so keep your fire alive And when the road gets long and you don't know where to go Follow that river till you find your way home" [Outro] Come on home Yeah, come on home Back to the river Back to the Green River
