Rain on the river I'm soakin' wet
Waitin' on friend who ain't come yet
And he might not get here for three or four days
Got to make a little bit go a long way
I've got a blond headed woman
Who likes to come around

Cute little hippy girl lives in town
Brings a bag a records and she plays 'em 'til dawn
Give me little lovin' then she got to go home

When times are hard
When you start feelin' low
Let yourself go
When the river's risin'
And the world feels cold

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
I got a 442 sittin' in the sun
Well it's been ten years since she used to run

Man she was a beauty in '69
But there ain't no more comin' down the line
When times are hard
And you start feelin' low

Let yourself go
When the river's risin'
And your world feels cold
Let yourself go
Honey let yourself go
