Gayle, Crystal - River Road Lyrics






Here I go once again
With my suitcase in my hand
And I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
Yes, I'm chasing my dreams down River Road

Mama said, listen child
You're too old to run wild
You're too big to be fishin' with the boys these days

So I grabbed some clothes and I ran
Stole five dollars from a sugar can
A twelve year old jail breaker runnin' away

Here I go once again
With my suitcase in my hand
And I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
I'm chasing my dreams down River Road

Well, I married a pretty good man
And he tries to understand
But he knows I've got leavin' on my mind these days

When I get that urge to roam
I'm just like a kid again
The same old jail breaker runnin' away

Here I go once again
With my suitcase in my hand
And I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
I'm chasing my dreams down River Road

    Well, metaphorically speaking , I have never stole anything, never been in Jail , never married , or Ran away from anything, But was 12 , at one time !! Have packed a lot of Medical Kit & like so many of us , want to go Home again. Have a Dream that , perhaps one of these days ,that Idiology is cast out of the forefront & our Species smartens up & learns how to work together with each other , instead of against each other , Oh !! What that would give to all & Oh , How ,so much ,We could All Accomplish for everyone !! Meanwhile , am Running down another River Road again .. With an Eternal Hope ...
    Take Care All Out There that are Running for Peace , Understanding & Compassion :))

    When I was a young fella, coming of age in Ireland, Crystal Gayle was my first love or so I imagined. After all those years I can say without a doubt I had excellent taste. Crystal with her unique lovely voice, and her beautiful looks will always be special to me.
