I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks. Looked up to the lord above and said, "Hey man, thanks." - The Tragically Hip
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those yearsPale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like meI had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the lord above and said, Hey, man, thanksSometimes I feel so good I got to scream
She said, Gordie, baby, I know exactly what you mean
She said, she said, I swear to god she saidMy memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim
