andrew duhon - riverman lyrics

[verse 1]
call him wise if you want to
there’s only one thing he knows
he’s never felt so far from home

[chorus 1]
he’s taken planes to new york city
trains to san anton’
but he’s never felt so far from home
he’s watching his wife of 35 years
lowered down below
and he’s never felt so far from home

[verse 2]
yeah and he still kneels by his bed
but he ain’t asking for no cure
no, he knows he’s on his last leg
and it ain’t his life that he’s praying for

[chorus 2]
i’ve taken planеs to new york city
and trains to san anton’
only got one place lеft to go
i make my money for the riverman
so i can pay his toll
and he can punch my ticket home
and i hear my wife calling back to me
and i want to say h+llo
so won’t you punch my ticket home
[verse 3]
still works every day of his life
his knuckles to the bone
but that ain’t why he’s bent so low
he’s watched the ones used to live around him
pass on back home
no one left to call his own

[verse 4]
he’s lived in that same house since the second war
but now he lives alone
never felt so far from home
yeah and he falls asleep by his bed
he’s still in his business clothes
god knows he was on his last leg
as his prayers came silent deep within his bones

[chorus 3]
i’ve taken planes to new york city
and trains to san anton’
only got one place left to go
i make my money for the riverman
so i can pay his toll
and he can punch my ticket home
i hear my wife calling back to me
and i want to say h+llo
so won’t you punch my ticket home
