River’s Road to Riches

[Intro]
Rolling down the river, grease on my hands
Cities flash by, in my ol' rusty van

[Verse 1]
I got toolboxes stacked high, in the back of my rig
Fixing those engines, through the sweat and the jig
Working on the Ohio, where the waters run deep
Chasing that dollar, for the promises I keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Muddy water money, shining in my eyes
Roads are calling, under endless skies
Every port, every town, just another mile
Living gritty, making every dollar worthwhile

[Chorus]
On the road, on the river, working all the time
Dirty water money, that’s my kind of prime
From dockside to highway, I keep the world turning
Living that life, with the fire still burning

[Bridge]
Brake jobs and oil leaks, fixing through the night
Sunrise on the horizon, neon lights
No rest for the weary, just steady and strong
River’s rolling on, I keep my engine long

[Outro]
So here I am, with my hands in the mud
Living on the water, working with the blood
Riding that river, making my way
Dirty water money, every single day
