about

"A dramatic tune which honors all that water can give and take away. With electric guitar burbling underneath, Dowd speaks of both pain – “My tongue is burning, it’s on fire” – and healing – “I’m gonna fill my cup in the river.” Coming, as it does, from one who’s lost (a home) and gained (a new direction) at its hands, Dowd brings a fresh (and hard-earned) perspective to an old metaphor." - Americana Highways

"Some of her most passionate singing on the album, clearly a standout track." - Jim Hynes, Making a Scene

lyrics

I’ve got something on my mind
I’m gonna give it to the river
I’ve got teardrops in my eyes
I’m gonna give em to the river

I’ve got stories in my bones want to be told
Lay my burdens down and let em go
River wash me whole
Heaven ain’t up
Hell ain’t below

My feet are tired, lord they’re tired
I’m gonna wash em in the river
My tongue is burning it’s on fire
I’m gonna fill my cup in the river

I’ve got stories in my bones want to be told
Lay my burdens down and let em go
River wash me whole
Heaven ain’t up
Hell ain’t below

We’ve gotta give a little, live with a little more love
What if heaven ain’t waiting up above
What if it’s right here
If you don’t live your truth
Hell will come find you

I’m gonna raise my hands up high
I’m gonna walk into the river
I’m gonna let my voice rise
I’m gonna sing out with the river

I’ve got stories in my bones want to be told
Lay my burdens down and let em go
River wash me whole
Heaven ain’t up
Hell ain’t below

We’ve gotta give a little, live with a little more love
Show the world what you came here made of
Follow your heart and free your soul
Heaven ain’t up
Hell ain’t below
