Heading down the Susquehanna In a boat made of pine Floating down this gentle river To forget what once was mine I know you love another Even though you swear you're true So I built this boat with your betrayal And I'm floating far from you Back to the land of my grandmother To the hills where she lay The Allegheny mountain valley Where the city melts away And someday I may forgive you If I find the grace for that But now I'm bound through Pennsylvania And I just may not come back Row row row this drifting boat By the light of the moon Gently lead me back to hope and back to loving you Right back to you I met you first in California by the side of Highway One With your hair down to your shoulders haloed by the setting sun I was driving to Elmira so I offered you a ride You said you'd come as far as Kansas Then you remained right by my side Chorus I fell for you by Minnesota you said you'd fallen days before I pledged my love then paid for breakfast Gave you the key to my front door I thought I'd be your one and only That hand in hand we'd bear the years But like this river we divided May these waters drown these tears Chorus
