Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse1] We pushed off slow on the muddy water Cool brown current Late July You went in first when the boat rolled over You Came up choking Never do it twice Lighting fires and running through it We loved to throw those little dice Stealing punkins then run like hell Good thing Dave knew how to drive Hanging out the passenger window Almost lost my fingers on a mailbox slide [Chorus] Playing our Auglaize River blues Soaked shoes Learned to drive stick In that Subaru If the world feels hard I just remember How I learned to lose and laugh it off with you The Auglaize River blues [Verse 2] Bare twelve year old butts in the summer traffic Mooning cars was fun to do Those honking horns All that holy panic We all bowed low Then your mom drove through (oh shit!) [Chorus] This is my Auglaize River blues Soaked shoes We really tore up That subaru If the world feels hard I just remember How I learned to lose and laugh it off with you My Auglaize River blues [Bridge] You put that harp in my clumsy fingers Said “Breathe in Bend it ’til it cries” I carried that old harp everyday Through five countries It was by my side [Verse 3] Poker nights in the beat-up camper Smoke-thick air and a busted fan Shooting bottle rockets from your bedroom window Ninja stars and smoking grass We didn’t need money we had each other The Volkswagen Rabbit And a rusty blue van [Chorus] This is my Auglaize River blues Rusty tin roof Late-night jokes And borrowed shoes If the years roll on and we drift apart We’ll still be those kids on a river raising hell It’s true My Auglaize River blues
