Wide.. Wide.. Yonder come a glad man singing a song bout the bushes by the gas pump gone to flower and a constant star collides bout a sad man saying they've forgotten how and the baby quit sucking when the milk went sour and the mouth of the river is wide Wide.. Wide.. Woooo... Wooo... Bout a sad man lost in the hammock sway when the bridal gown came mama spit out the window and the cops say the dog wont bite and the sad man saying they've forgotten when and the blood runnin black in the valley shadows and the river running all the while Yonder come a glad man singing a song bout a lover rolled over said you must be tired and the truth coming towards the light bout a sad man knocking on a chapel door and a burned out boat called "Trial by Fire" and the mouth of the river is wide Wide.. Wide... Woooo... Wooo..
