Jon Bindley - Three Rivers Lyrics
Born in a city that's got three riversThere's a lot of bridges where I come fromBorn in a city that's got three riversThe people live and the work gets doneThey run past the church and the county jailMove on through the smoke of abandoned millsI've been in a pew, I've been in a cellHeard the drunk men singing and the ringing bellsWell we all want to know, whose gonna save our soul?Born in a city that's got three riversThere's a couple people that know my nameBorn in a city that's got three riversPumping like the blood that's in my veinsI was a mad young man I can see me nowWith my fist clenched tight and a furrowed browFighting and running like a river wildNothing in the world could have slowed me downBut oh, ain't that how it goes?Now I know, ain't that how it goes?Born in a city that's got three riversOh, I haven't been there in quite some timeBorn in a city that's got three riversThere you'll find the woman that's on my mindShe's as good as gold with a diamond heartHair black as coal on a river bargeNow I know love is a stead climb like a trolley-car up a mountainsideAnd I, am thinking I'll come homeOh I hope she opens up her doorAnd she says helloBorn in a city that's got three riversThere's a lot of bridges where I came fromMonongahela, Ohio, AlleghenyCredits
