Follow the river down through the valley
To where the wild fires kissed the factory walls
Past the church where my folks were married
It didn't last of course they never do

And I spent so many nights with the writing on the wall
Walked the crooked path and bypassed it all

Between the devil and the deep I find my own
Between the devil and the deep I'll lay my head, I'm home
Between the devil and the deep I find my own
Between the devil and the deep
I'll call it home

Take the car upstate and cross the border
To where I hear the pontoons bump and spray
Oh what a blast it is to be breathing
But still your attitude and shoes are so passe

Ride the rail road tracks into your city
Looking for an old familiar face
Hey man how ya doin' it's been a while
Yet nothing changes in this here shitty town
