Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes - I Went Down

I went down to the river (down to the river)
Don't know what came over me
Cos down by the river (down by the river)
Isn't where I ought to be
Down by the river
You must have heard those song
Down by the river is where no good comes from

Joni sang of heartbreak
And wanting to skate away
The Goddamn river never froze
Not even on Christmas day
And JR's wife was taken
The one with the Southern drawl
Cos down at that big river
Her name was being called

I went down to the river (down to the river)
Don't know what came over me
Cos down by the river (down by the river)
Isn't where I ought to be
Down by the river
You must have heard those songs
Down by the river is where no love belongs

A shotgun wedding, a broken heart
Prison time for some
Charlie killed his Knoxville girl
And dumped her body where the waters run
I came down to try and drown
The devil inside me
But Mr Young saw what I done
Now I'll never be free

I went down to the river (down to the river)
Don't know what came over me
Cos down by the river (down by the river)
Isn't where I ought to be
Down by the river
You must have heard those songs
Down by the river is where no good comes from

Down by the river is where no good comes from
