Upstream

Upstream

I’ve been riding on this boat for about sixteen years

And I ain’t done nothing that ain’t got me nowhere

Feels like I’m goin’ up river, ain’t got nowhere else to go

I just keep paddlin on upstream, and I’m goin’ all alone

I’ve set out my directions but I donno where this river’s gonna go

I just keep paddlin on upstream, and I’m goin’ all alone

Now I’ve only got one paddle, and this ship’s got a hole

Better get up there fast, or my boat’s just gonna be

Another ship, cast down in the sea, left with no name

Remembered by none but me.
