Way Out Of Town
Riverside Reverie: A Soul's Journey Beyond Love's Horizon
Lyrics
Hey mama
Addressing the mother figure
Why you treat me mean
Expressing dissatisfaction with how he's treated
Oh babe
Endearing term for the person he's addressing
I didn't know your name
Acknowledging ignorance of the person's name
When I say to you my pretty mama
Expressing a feeling within
I have a feeling down inside
Emphasizing a deeper emotion
When I say to you my little mama
Repeating affectionate address with a promise
You know I'm gonna make you sweat
Committing to make the person exert effort
Make your time
Encouraging the person to take their time
Singing on a river way out of town
Singing about being on a river outside of town
Oh lady please bring me down
Pleading for comfort and solace
Dreaming about a future made out of gold
Dreaming of a prosperous future
Oh babe please don't leave me now
Pleading not to be abandoned
Singing on a river when the sun goes down
Continuing to sing by the river as the sun sets
Oh you make me proud
Expressing pride, likely influenced by the person
Dreaming about a future for me and you
Dreaming of a shared future
Oh lady
Calling the lady
Baby
Endearing term for the person
Bring me down
Requesting emotional support
Oh you bring me down lady
Repeating the request to bring him down emotionally
I hear you moaning
Hearing moaning, seeking guidance
Oh mama mama
Repetition of addressing the mother figure
Tell me where I go
Asking for direction
I hear you moaning
Hearing moaning again, inviting participation
Would you join my call?
Inviting the person to join his call
Singing on a river way out of town
Reiteration of singing by the river outside of town
Oh lady please bring me down
Repetition of pleading for emotional support
Dreaming about a future made out of gold
Repeating dreams of a golden future
Oh babe please don't leave me now
Pleading not to be left alone
Singing on a river when the sun goes down
Repeating singing by the river at sunset
Oh lady
Calling the lady and baby again
Baby
Endearing terms, requesting emotional support
Bring me down
Repeating the request for emotional comfort
And if you join my call
Inviting the person to join his call with a promise
I will show you the gold
Promising to reveal something valuable
And if you join my call oh baby
Repeating the invitation with endearment
Singing on a river way out of town
Repetition of singing by the river outside of town
Oh lady please bring me down
Repetition of pleading for emotional support
Dreaming about a future made out of gold
Repeating dreams of a golden future
Oh babe please don't leave me now
Pleading not to be abandoned
Singing on a river when the sun goes down
Repeating singing by the river at sunset
Oh lady
Calling the lady and baby again
Baby
Endearing terms, requesting emotional support
