Lyrics - Downstream by Rainmakers

"
Downstream" by

Well, me and
Mark
Twain were having us a ball
Telling each other lies, floating down from
Hannibal
With a bottle and a worm and a cane pole
We were fishing for secrets where the catfish crawl
And the
Mississippi
River's flowing downstream
Meet the
Gulf of
Mexico somewhere downstream
Meet the
Atlantic
Ocean somewhere downstream
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
Well, we picked up
Harry
Truman floating down from
Independence
We said "
What about the war?", he said "
Good riddance"
We said "
What about the
Bomb, are you sorry that you did it?"
He said "
Pass me that bottle, and mind your own business"
And the
Mississippi
River's flowing downstream
Meet the
Gulf of
Mexico somewhere downstream
Meet the
Atlantic
Ocean somewhere downstream
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
Well, we're rounding
St.
Louis and heading for the coast
When we pick up
Chuck
Berry in a little rowboat
With one oar in the water and one in the air
A lightning rod for a white guitar
And lightning struck once, and lightning struck twice
And
I said "
If there's a
God,
He sure ain't nice"
And
Chuck said "
God is an
Indian giver
I don't trust nothing but the
Mississippi
River"
And the
Mississippi
River's flowing downstream
Meet the
Gulf of
Mexico somewhere downstream
Meet the
Atlantic
Ocean somewhere downstream
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
