Riverboat
Words & Music: Jamie Field

Picture this if you will, a backlit summers evening, everything quite still.
Water flows slow and brown, it’s like the glory and the torture of a Mississippi sundown

My name’s Mister LaTour and I live on the river, know every inch of it for sure,
Every tumbledown shack is a marker going upstream and a prayer when coming back
I’m Captain of this riverboat, just tryin’ to keep the thing afloat
It’s steam and wheels, and thuds and squeals, riding on the water…..
I’m Captain of this riverboat, just tryin’ to keep the thing afloat
It’s steam and wheels, and thuds and squeals, riding on the water…..

Who knows who runs this place, and through all the death and darkness, should I meet him face to face,
Words are never enough, but when the final battle’s over, then I’d like to call his bluff.
I’m Captain of this riverboat, just tryin’ to keep the thing afloat
It’s steam and wheels, and thuds and squeals, riding on the water…..
I’m Captain of this riverboat, just tryin’ to keep the thing afloat
It’s steam and wheels, and thuds and squeals, riding on the water…..
