When I lost myself down where the water run
I was a little boy lookin' for adventure,
When I lost myself down where the water run
I was a little boy, yeah

Now, that, I am grown,
Still, I'm so far from my home, yeah

When I moved my life down to the city
I was a little boy looking for adventure,
When I moved my life down to the city
I was a little boy yeah,

Now, that, I am grown,
Still, I'm so far from my home

Take me down, to Crooked River
Take me down, let me walk on the shore
Take me down, to Crooked River, yeah
'cause I can't swim here anymore
No I can't swim here anymore

Spread my ashes down where the water run
I am a dead man lookin' for some answers
Spread my ashes down where the water run
I am a dead man yeah

Now, that, I am gone,
Still, I'm so far from my home,

Take me down, to Crooked River
Take me down, let me walk on the shore
Take me down, to Crooked River, yeah
'cause I can't swim here anymore
No I can't swim here anymore
