Mad River

I've been up and down Mad River
Since I found the crossing spot
I've been up and down Mad River
Trading smiles for what I've not

Things are nice this side of Mad River
There's blues and greens and golden hair
Things are nice this side of Mad River
I would stay if I did not care

My candle burns down on Mad River
Dark don't scare you over here
Twists and turns down on Mad River
The voice is muddy but the words are clear

No dams allowed down on Mad River
You can't control the water deep
No dams allowed down on Mad River
The water's wide and the banks are steep

I'm in love with Mad River
But I ain't the only one
Birds fly above Mad River
Sing the only song ever been sung

Maybe I'll see you down on Mad River
You could wave from the other side
Maybe I'll see you down on Mad River
We could meet in the water wide

Maybe I'll see you down on Mad River
We could meet in the water wide
