River Road
©2016 Robert Randall Burke


Down by the river late at night
Silver moon's the only light
That shines on you
Gazing in your azure eyes
You know it made me realize
I love you.


Way out here on River Road
You can leave that crazy
City life behind you
Way out here on River Road
The one that seeks you out
Will never find you.


Now before me, here you stand
Your broken halo in your hand
And cryin'
I can take away your strife
And show you there is more to life
Than dyin'.


Way out here on River Road
You can leave that empty life
Behind you
Way out here on River Road
You can come and cleanse your soul
And start anew.


Way out here on River Road
You can leave that crazy
City life behind you
Way out here on River Road
The one that seeks you out
Will never find you.


Yeah, way out here on River Road
The one that seeks you out
Will never find you.

WOW, the forum is on fire today!! This is absolutely wonderful!! My new fave of yours-you're constantly knocking my old faves into second place. This is absolutely addicting and hypnotic. I hear some Springsteen and some Gordon Lightfoot (wouldn't expect to hear those influences in the same song).

Now before me, here you stand
Your broken halo in your hand
And cryin'
I can take away your strife
And show you there is more to life
Than dyin'.

One of my favorite verses EVER!!

I love this---Can you tell?

Outstanding! Take care. Greg

I grew up not to far off River Road in Charleston. Spanish moss hanging from large oak trees. Your song paints just as pretty a picture. Enjoyed this one. Great melody and chord progression.

Great lyrics and a very captivating use of realtracks.

And I love that chord that seems to modulate the melody to a different key.

Well written all around.

much enjoyed!

Charlie,

I had a "River Road" where I grew up as well. Of course, it was the Delaware River, not the Ashley! grin


Happy 4th!

Bob, I hear a definite Gordon Lightfoot reference here. I really like the way you went to the minor in the chorus and I liked the break near the end. Another fine tune. Tom
