I'm going down to the river to see what I can find
You know i'm just a poor boy with trouble on his mind
And when I get to the river I'll lay down my weary head
Gonna dream of the ocean
Carried down from the river bed
I've got a soul that loves to wander, a heart that needs to roam
Don't owe anybody anything, i'll make any place my home
I like smell of the pine tree, feel the needles below my feet
I'll be alone but not lonesome
A stranger to everyone I meet
And it's a long gone heart song to me
And I'm long gone, heart-worn but free
What's near and what's distant - it's all a state of mind
If I could I'd bring the forest here, take the long way back that winds
'Cos there's a view when you get there, and it tastes something like peace
It don't make me king of the mountain
But that's ok with me
And it's a long gone heart song to me
And I'm long gone, heart-worn but free
And it's a long gone heart song to me
And I'm long gone, heart-worn but free
