Michael found a wheel, he gave it to his mother. Michael's mother's car only has three wheels. Michael's mother found the floor jack in the basement. Michael needs the car to see Melinda tonight. Suzie found a card she could bring to her brother. Suzie's brother always was the silent type. Suzie asked the guard where she could find her brother. The guard told Suzie that he'd got in a fight. Julie found herself on top of a mountain. Julie's mountain feels like the top of the world. Julie's mother called her in to have her supper. Julie knows her mountain will be waiting for her. Donna found a wheel, well she took it off a Tahoe. Donna's wheel went in the cart that she pushed. Donna sold the wheel, and she just kept pushing. Donna's mother never did believe in her. Ricky found a shoe that could fit on his right foot. Ricky's right foot was always shorter than the left. Ricky's right foot was missing all of its big toe. Ricky's always asking if you've seen where it went. Frankie found himself telling lies to his father. Frankie's father knows but he loves him all the same. Frankie toed the floor and asked if he could hold a twenty. Frankie's father prays that he'll see him again.

When you comin' home now. home now, when you comin' back home? When you comin' home now. home now, when you comin' back home? I'm afraid you've gone and found another, never ever comin' back home. The river's runnin' high this summer and I've been alone, honey, I've been so alone. Mighty lonesome feelin' mighty, mighty lonesome blue. Mighty lonesome feelin' mighty, mighty lonesome blue. Mighty river take me under, never ever felt so blue. Well since you've gone and found another, don't know what I'll do, honey, scared of what I'll do. Mighty river take my body, take it down so deep. Mighty river take my body, take it down so deep. Run me right out to the ocean, never ever want to be found. This lonesome life to you I promise if you keep me out the ground, just keep me out the ground. Now try to get some sleep my darling, you can't get no sleep. Try to get some sleep my darling, you can't get no sleep. Listen to that mighty river, never ever runnin' back down. In this life forever you'll be haunted by the sound, honey, and I'll be walkin' round.
