Just across the river
A good life waits on the other side
Can't float here forever
You know it's too deep and wide
Just across the river
People are smiling so carefree
I've been told I can redeem my soul
New world waiting for me
All my life I've been shortchanged
Nobody wants to hear a poor boy complain
Work like a slave to stay out of the rain
Then they closed the factory down
Yeah, they closed the factory down
But just across the river
You don't need a job, time is free
Work if you wanna
The sun is warm and the air is sweet
Just across the river
Clouds are calling out your name
All you need is the blood you bleed
Don't need no fortune or fame
Can't you see it getting closer day by day
Golden rainbow is headed your way
No more wandering you're there to stay
You can lay your burden down
You can lay your burden down
Just across the river
They're building a warm fire every night
Just across the river
The wind is calm and the moon is bright
Sweet, sweet music
Ringing through the valley shaking the trees
My clothes are packed and I ain't coming back
Don't come looking for me
Ain't nobody singing no sad songs
Tired of walking you can rest your bones
Your wandering spirit is never again to roam
They're calling you home
Yeah, they're calling you home
Ain't nobody singing no sad songs
Tired of walking you can rest your bones
Your wandering spirit is never again to roam
They're calling you home
Yeah, they're calling you home
Just across the river
