I'm away down river from the past
On the Mississippi River raft

I'm playing my music in the night
Songs that make the catfish bite

There's a sun tanned lady by my side
She's like a lazy river ridge

She's my new and better half
On the Mississippi River raft

Our companions are the fish and the stars
From the past that harbors yesterday's wars

Just a river and her sweet voice
We found a life we both enjoy

We've got peace in our lives at last
On the Mississippi River raft
