Well I wish the earth would shake Like it did in days of old Turn that mighty river round And carry us back home But if the ground beneath our feet Stays firm and the river true No frets my dear when the debts are clear well ride me and you And we will ride ride ride Back home again Up the old river valley Away from all this sin Let the cheap libations And sweet celebration begin We will ride ride ride Back to where we began Two tickets on the greyhound Two tickets on the train Two tickets on the steamboat Or steam powered aereoplane Many many miles Between us and home again Another dusk another dawn Another road with my best friend And we will ride ride ride Back home again Up the old river valley Away from all this sin Let the cheap libations And sweet celebration begin We will ride ride ride Back to where we began I live for these nights Cause Ill die one of these days And I refuse to regret The work Ive done for little pay Id be proud to die with you Hand in hand under the shade Sharing laughter tears and tales Over all the love weve made And we will ride ride ride Back home again Up the old river valley Away from all this sin Let the cheap libations And sweet celebration begin We will ride ride ride Back to where we began
