Skip Spence: Waited down by the river for you to come

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

A best friend to your ear of true said I was guilty of sin
Said my being gone was the best thing for you
But the truth, it all comes through for me and my kin
It wasn't the best thing for me but was the best for him

Weighted down by decision
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

While I sat there wondering, you thought that eyes were hid
And I had the honor of watching everything you did

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

Weighted down by possession
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come
