lyrics

“The Rivah”
Words and Music by Gary Snead
Copyright 1998©

People from around these parts,
Known as the Commonwealth, (No matter what their wealth)
Head to the water on the weekends,
To soothe their spirit and their health,
They got cottages and trailers,
And beachfront property,
The only thing I know for sure,
Is that the waterfront’s for me

‘Cause I’m goin’ to the Rivah,
Not to the beach,
‘Cause it’s the only body of water,
Within reach,
Yeah, I’m goin’ to the Rivah,
Not to the Bay,
‘Cause it’s my laid back chilled out,
Weekend get-away

Some people like their sailboats,
Or their personal watercraft,
I’ve seen preppy “come here” idiots,
Who don’t know their fore from aft,
I’ve seen jon-boats in the whitecaps,
And big old Beetram Yachts,
Seems the size of your boat is the only thing,
Separating have’s from have not’s

Chorus

I think I’ll go and buy a place,
Down by the river’s shore.
‘Cause I agree with all my yuppie friends,
That less sucks I want more,
And we’ll throw some wild beach parties,
And invite you one and all,
And if we ever need a band there,
We’ll give B2B a call (We’ll give DKB a call)

Chorus/Repeat Chorus
