Gonna shop me tin-plates, put all me money on Johnny's face
Tallest in the year, first to get served with no fear
I can see the river clean, with grams of coals that float downstream
And the only thing blue is the sky that's high above you
Is it cool if I confide in you?
Show my teenage blues, and we'll be-
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night
Keepin' up the sun 'til the river runs dry
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night with you
Just like we used to do
♪
I'm so glad you came
Without you, the river don't feel the same
Now we feel sick from doin' your spinning cider trick
I can still taste your lips in the salty air where we first kissed
And the harrowing view of dark clouds hanging over you
Girl, what's troubling you?
Let go off your teenage blues and we'll be-
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night
Keepin' up the sun 'til the river runs dry
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night with you
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night
Keepin' up the sun 'til the river runs dry
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night with you
Girl, what's troubling you?
We got nothing to lose, and can I come home with you?
Wash away that teenage blues
Staying out with you, and we'll be-
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night
Keepin' up the sun 'til the river runs dry
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night with you
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night
Keepin' up the sun 'til the river runs dry
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night with you
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night
Keepin' up the sun 'til the river runs dry
Drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night with you
Oh, just like we used to do (drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night)
(Keepin' up the sun 'til the river runs dry)
Just like we used to do (drinking by the river 'til the middle of the night with you)
