lyrics

They're coming up the avenue
Internal revenue, this is nothing new
If I lose track of you
Meet me at the rendezvous

I snuck out through the white pines
The word's out in the grocery lines and the five and dimes
And the Cresco Times
But we'll get hard to find

I grew up on fertile ground
Black dirt and chicken sounds and hunting hounds
And those Grant Wood towns
And I know my way around

Say goodbye to this year's crop
Last year's money is hid in an old cook pot
Buried on top of Steamboat Rock

And if the Turkey River is gonna drink me in
I might as well let her
I can't run forever

The river's about to come apart
And spill over Cardinal Marsh
Meet me after dark at the high water mark
My little meadowlark

And if the Turkey River is gonna drink me in
I might as well let her
I can't run forever

And if the Turkey River is gonna drink me in
I might as well let her
I can't run forever
