Lyrics

Down the Falls
Jason Mickelson

The current is too fast this boat won't last
It's a fight to get upstream
The falls they laugh behind my back
They're getting closer too it seems
But I won't listen when the river it tells me
Tells me to give in
No I won't listen when the river compels me
To let the spiral begin

Down the falls of Black River
Down the falls of Black River
Down the falls the voices call
Old Black River / Down the falls

Well from time to time that adrenaline
Gets a pumping through those veins
And it feels just fine to walk the line
Between insanity or sane
But when that river water hits me
Smack across the face
I realize choose to survive
Over the river bed's embrace

Steady as she goes man steady as I can
With my eyes focused dead ahead
Gonna hedge my bets ain't trying to get wet
When the Black River is running red
Cause we've all seen some that couldn't overcome
They get tired trying to fight the flow
And if that's you please don't refuse
Grab my hand before you go
