Under your feet, black river road carries you up the street
Leading somewhere you once known
Never complaining ‘bout the weight of your sorry soul
And miles away
The pavement glistens as night turns to day
The road always listens to heart ache and pain
Oh, black river road, won’t you carry me home
Driven’ for hours, thinking in my head
Passin’ water towers
What could have been said instead
I'm here alone
Oh, black river road
Won’t you carry me home
Eyes gettin’ weary
The road looks rough ahead
So black river road
Won’t you please
Carry me home
Oh, black river road
Won’t you carry me home
