Shinin' in the july dust

Heat risin' off the road
Portrays heat waves rising from the road surface.
Out in front of my truck

Pulled my pick-up over the hill

Down the slide gravel through the cat-tails

Give me those swamp river days again

Sat down in the shade of a cotton wood tree

Pretty soon the swamp critters' callin' me

Skinny river kids swim in my mind
Mentions children swimming in the speaker's thoughts.
Hucklebums on cane-pole time
Refers to carefree times with fishing.
Give me those swamp river days again

Old memories out in the crick
Recalls old memories near a creek.
Playin' hooky with a hobo stick

Old memories startin' to fade

Take me away

Cody river playin' on the radio

Takes me back to a girl I used to know

Sweet Susie do you think about me

That was good as it's ever gonna be
Reflects on a past that may have been the best.
Give me those swamp river days again
