[Verse 1] Corner store the graveyard shift three hours more You came by with some friends to see if you could score And that was young Consider all the things we've done The message from your father had you on the run And I can't seem to shake these blues And I've been pining over you Adding up my past mistakes But I just can't seem to shake These River City blues [Verse 2] At the break of dawn We were passed out on the lawn Stayed up late to hear that old coyote song Time will tell Break down all your dreams as well And all them beer and cigarettes they never help And I can't seem to shake these blues And I've been pining over you Adding up my past mistakes But I just can't seem to shake This River City blues [Verse 3] There was that time I wrapped my car around a tree I called you first before I even called the police You drove me home and helped me fix my busted knee So take your time And if you think you might reply I promise I will try To make things right But how I'd love to shake these blues But I can't do it without you Forgive me for my past mistakes Won't you please just help me shake These River City blues River City blues River City blues
