about

not much more to this story than good friends and floating down the mississippi river. sometimes things are simple; i'm glad for that :)

lyrics

the sun it comes up
on the banks of the old mississippi
we carried a boat that was
carefully crafted to fly
down the blocks to the rocks
on the banks of the old mississippi
three was our company
tommy and kevin and i

the sun it shines high
on the banks of the old mississippi
on the backs of old friends
as a new one begins to agree
that there's magic right here
on the banks of the old mississippi
and there's no other place
that right now i am wanting to be

so row your boat to nowhere
and sing a little tune
drift 'til monday morning
turns to sunday afternoon

the sun it goes down
on the banks of the old mississippi
we've long said goodbye
and the stars are beginning to shine
we've a long way to go from
the banks of the old mississippi
but may always a river
be flowing from your heart to mine

so row your boat to nowhere
and sing a little tune
drift 'til monday morning
turns to sunday afternoon
