Trinity River

[Chorus]
Trinity river, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river gonna get me clean
Trinity river, it flows because I cry
Gon’ keep me honest when everybody tellin' lies

[Verse 1]
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

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

[Instrumental - Trumpet Break]

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Instrumental - Trumpet Break]

[Outro]
Trinity river, dirty water risin’ up
Trinity river, couldn't drown me fast enough
Trinity river, it flows because I cry
Gon' keep you honest even though you're tellin’ lies
