POWDERFINGER

COME ON BOBBY THERE'S A WHITE BOAT COMING DOWN THE RIVER
BEEN SO LONG SINCE I SAW EMMY LOU
WELL I TRIED TO BREAK HER DOOR BUT I COULDN'T GET EVEN
WITH THE PENITENTIARY MAN BY THE BACKYARD DOOR

SO COME ON MOMMA THERE'S A WHITE BOAT COMING DOWN THE RIVER
DADDY'S OUT FISHING AND HE'S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE JUNE
IF I COULD SEE A REASON STILL TO LOVE HER
DON'T YOU THINK I'D STOP THROWING MY THINGS AT THE MOON

HOLD ON TO ME
HOLD ON TO ME
HOLD ON TO ME
DON'T LET GO

DON'T LET GO OF ME

WAKE UP BOBBY THERE'S A WHITE BOAT ROLLING DOWN THE RIVER
YOU'VE BEEN SITTING IN THE VALLEY SINCE 1962
TOPANGA CANYON'S CHANGED BUT NOT THAT MUCH LATELY
NOT AS MUCH AS YOU

WAKE UP BOBBY THERES A WHITE MAN STANDING WITH A PISTOL
SEEMS LIKE HE WANTS TO STEAL EVERYTHING YOU OWN
HE SAID HE SAW YOUR WOMAN KISSING AN EAGLE IN THE RAIN
 IN A STADIUM SOUTH OF NEW MEXICO

HOLD ON TO ME, ETC.

SO SAVE YOUR CURSES FOR THE ENGLISH AND THOUGHTS OF TOMORROW
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE AND WHAT'S GONE IS WHAT'S GONE FOREVER
I SANG THIS SONG TO YOU SOMETIME ROUND THE TIME YOU KNEW
THAT EVERYTHING YOU EVER HAD WAS GONE

"SHELTER ME FROM THE POWDER AND THE FINGER
COVER ME FROM THE HAND THAT PULLS THE TRIGGER
COUNT ON ME AS THE ONE YOU NEVER FIGURED"
