River Road - Nickajack Lyrics
(Steve Bogard/Steve Curnutte/Matt Maher) It was a hot June morning on the intersate She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride With just one look, it was heart and soul We were like a river runnin' out of control When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam Up come the water over Nickajack land Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake We spent a week together in the next two nights It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right Before we both knew it we were makin' some plans Seein' rings on our fingers, on both of our hands Daddy said I was crazy, mommas both cried But you gotta tell the world when you feel it inside When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam Up come the water over Nickajack land Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake Now we got a cabin with a window veiw Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too We got a lay away cradle her jeans are gettin' tight I guess lovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life I know how it is now's the way it should Cause I look outside, and what do I see When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam Up come the water over Nickajack land Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam Up come the water over Nickajack land Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
