lyrics

Green River, Green River, lend me your ear
You're an impartial judge of this condition, I hear
I've been wigging right out now for the third time this year
The seasons are changing but I'm not I fear

Green River, Green River, nothing was clear
I raised the alarm like I was Paul Revere
The neighbors were angry, "Hey, what's the big idear?"
I felt sheepish; I came down with this bottle of beer
And you said:

Nothing will be ruined
And nothing will be lost
You're holding on so tightly
To something no one even wants
So let go
And be free

Green River, Green River, I found you last night
With a head full of worry and a heart full of spite
I shouted "where's the goddamn map, I mean where's the promised light?"
Green River, you laughed and you called me uptight
And you said:

Nothing will be ruined
And nothing will be lost
You're holding on so tightly
To something no one even wants
So let go
And be free
Be at peace
And be free
