Down on the riverside
Riverside Revelry: Finding Bliss Beyond the Blues
Lyrics
When I get to feelin low
When facing emotional lows
And I don't know what to do
Uncertain about the course of action
She's got the remedy
Referring to a person who provides a solution
To cull away my blues
Eases or dispels my sadness
Mary jane she my thang
Expressing affection for marijuana
Keeps me feelin right
Ensures well-being or contentment
Down on the riverside
Location by a riverbank
Me and her gonna spend the night
Intention to spend the night together
Yes I like to get so high
Enjoying a state of elevated consciousness
Down on the riverside
Specifically on the riverside
Yes all that gets me by
The mentioned scenario is a coping mechanism
Is when I'm on the riverside
Reiteration of finding solace by the riverside
On the riverside
Emphasizing the riverside location
On the riverside
Repetition for emphasis
On the riverside
Reinforcing the importance of the riverside
You know I get so tired
Expressing weariness or fatigue
Of all that nine to five
Frustration with the conventional work schedule
Money man doin what he can
Reference to the challenges posed by financial pursuits
To make it hard to survive
Alluding to difficulties in surviving
No need to look around
Confidence in a known location
You know just where I'll be
Indicating a preference for the riverside
Sitting on the Riverside til the day I D I E
Commitment to stay by the riverside until death
Yes I like to get so high
Reiteration of enjoying an elevated state
Down on the riverside
Specifically, on the riverside
Yes all that gets me by
Dependence on the riverside for emotional support
Is when I'm on the riverside
Reaffirmation of solace found by the riverside
You know how we do it
Assertion of familiarity with the routine by the river
Down on the river
Confirmation of the setting being by the river
Yes I like to get so high
Reiteration of enjoying an elevated state
Down on the riverside
Specifically, on the riverside
Yes all that gets me by
Dependence on the riverside for emotional support
Is when I'm on the riverside
Reaffirmation of solace found by the riverside
On the riverside
Emphasizing the riverside location
On the riverside
Repetition for emphasis
On the riverside
Reinforcing the importance of the riverside
