    Story Behind the Song
    Life has a way of leading us away from the place of our roots. Though our journeys can enrich our lives, there’s nothing like coming home again.

    “River City” is about coming home to find oneself after life has dealt us a disappointment.

    Lyrics
    Verse 1

    A hundred thousand miles have passed beneath my feet
    But it doesn’t seem I’ve travelled very far
    I can see a million faces in my memory
    But there’s one who left her mark upon my heart

    Verse 2

    She gave me everything I thought I wanted
    But she couldn’t give me everything I need
    So here I am, driving down another lonely highway
    Heading where I’ll get me room to breath

    Chorus 1

    I’m goin’ back to the river city
    I’m goin’ back to the place I love
    Where the river meets the sea
    And it suits a guy like me

    You don’t have to worry, take your time

    Verse 3

    And when my wings have healed well then I’ll fly away
    They say if nothing’s ventured nothing’s gained
    But anytime I need to find my soul again
    You know where I’ll be spending all my days

    Chorus 2

    I’m goin’ back to the river city
    I’m goin’ back to the place I love
    Where you can take your time
    You don’t have to stand in line

    Leave the clowns and Merry-Go-Rounds behind

    Middle 8 (Actually it’s 9)

    Lift me up above the clouds
    that hang before my eyes
    Set me down on solid ground
    where I can clear my mind

    Guitar Solo

    Repeat and Fade Out

    I’m goin’ back to the river city
    I’m goin’ back to the place I love
