I was born by the river

So I know where the river runs dry

I couldn't last forever

Accused just for living

But I know that the living was right

I couldn't last forever

Look at me making movies

Making living like I've never lived before

And the people wanting out of the river

Like a poor boy really should

Now I can sit and stand it

Like other people do

What you do for me I'll do for you, yeah

Now I can sit and stand it

Like other people do

What is blue for me, is blue for you

There's a man who I know

You know he's got a fist full of dirty dollars

And I know they won't last forever

Does he really know what people are saying

Always feeling sure what he is there saying

But the other's disappear he was alone

Now I can sit and stand it

Like other people do

What you do for me I'll do for you

Now I can sit and stand it

Like other people do

What is blue for me, is blue for you

I go back to the river

Cause I know where the river runs dry

I couldn't last forever

Take the night making movies

Like a villain never ever seen the night of day

Don't you know that I can't last forever

Now I can sit and stand it

Like other people do

What you do for me I'll do for you

Now I can sit and stand it

Like other people do

What is blue for me, is blue for you

Now I can sit and stand it

Like other people do

What is blue for me, is kind of blue for you, yeah

Hello I'm going down

You know I don't want to wear no pretty crown

Help people I'm going down
