lyrics

I’d think I’d remember that night on the moss near Calf Killer River
Where we spent our innocence and she took all the love I'd give her
But it’s just a jumble now of what we were and what we did under the moon
I do remember that moon and how it seemed to play a lovely tune but

Nights on that river have grown together
And even she is lost there in my mind
With others that I took there in time
And the beer and the wine and the lies
And the truth now is one big whatever
But that was in those Calf Killer River Days
When I learned the mysteries of the ways
Of the young and how easy life can be undone

Oh, Calf Killer River Days

You’d think I’d remember that day when death came like sudden thunder
When us guys swam across that stream and suddenly I went down under
Not one of my muscles could give me any help, my breath could not last
But my friend Will reached out and I thank the Lord he gave me a hand

Nights on that river have grown together
And even he is lost there in my mind
With others that I took there in time
And the beer and the wine and the lies
And the truth now is one big whatever
But that was in those Calf Killer River Days
When I learned the mysteries of the ways
Of the young and how easy life can be undone
Oh, Calf Killer River Days

Just a few years later I saw Will’s name
His car wrecked and went up in flames
He said much later that he was scared
But I know he was a hero and brave
And I still know his name… when I come this way..

Nights on that river have grown together
And even he is lost there in my mind
With others that I took there in time
And the beer and the wine and the lies
And the truth now is one big whatever
But that was in those Calf Killer River Days
When I learned the mysteries of the ways
Of the young and how easy life can be undone
Oh, Calf Killer River Days…
