"Trinity River" lyrics

Trinity river, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river gonna get me clean
Trinity river
Though, because I cry
Gon' keep me honest with everybody tellin' lies

Damn center evening hung everywhere
Gamblers turn their cars
And drinkin' on that whiskey hard
Damn center evening flows through my head
I had the sweetest dream
I was floatin' in the river dead

Trinity river, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river gonna get me clean
Trinity river
Though, because I cry
Gon' keep you honest when you're tellin' lies

In this river city
Nothin' ever lasts
Beside the lonesome noose
Starin' back at you
In this river city
One thing you can show
Whatever you got to give
Somebody gonna get some gold

Trinity river, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river gonna get me clean
Trinity river
Though, because I cry
Gon' keep me honest even though they tellin' lies

Trinity river, dirty water risin' up
Trinity river, couldn't drown me fast enough
Trinity river
Though, because I cry
Gon' keep you honest even though you're tellin' lies
