From the recording Lullabies & Cautionary Tales
Lyrics
Showdown
Crossing that river
Night after night
Taking a chance
Every single time
Sometimes it’s low
and sometimes it’s high
Reaching up to drag you down
Crossing that river
Under cover of night
New moon rising
One who’s close by
She knows how you breathe
Sees the mud on your boots
Chorus:
Sooner or later
Gonna be a Showdown
Fast words won’t do
Nobody no good
Crossing that river
A knock on my door
I should turn you away
but I never do
Playing with fire
who’s gonna get burned
do we care?
We don’t seem to?
