Hey, did you hear, about the one that got away,
They say, he looked left,
She turned right, meant to be together but not that night,
It's when fate's running late, we tend to make mistakes,
We go 'round and 'round, from love to love
It's either way too much or not enough

Gimme lazy days with nothing better to do
Than singin' oh black water keep on rollin' while I wait for you
I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine,
I'm leaving the ghosts behind until
I got you, I got you
You're the sun through my window, warming my skin
Oh you, I got you
Hey,

Then when one of them was taken, the other one was waiting
For the next big thing
To bring them to the gates of heaven
Or maybe just a late night in Vegas
It's true, that's what we do when were going down swingin'
Then coming up singing the blues
Wearing out my shoes, chasing new faces to get to you

Driving home on a summer night
Singin' old black water
Keep on rolling 'till the time is right
I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine
Sit back enjoy the ride

Until I got you, I got you
You're the sun through my window
Warming my skin, oh you I got you Like Sonny and Cher
Except I'll be there for you, I got you
Let old black water bring us together

Old black water keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
Old black water keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
Wanna hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come on take me by the hand,
Wanna hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama,
Here she comes,

I got you, I got you
You're the sun through my window warming my skin,
Oh you I got you
Like Sonny and Cher you know I'll be there for you
I got you, let old black water bring us together
You, I got you, I got you , I got you baby
By the hand hand take me by the hand
Pretty mama dance with your daddy all night long
Wanna hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand hand, take me by the hand
Pretty mama dance with your daddy all night long
Wanna hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand hand, take me by the hand
Pretty mama dance with your daddy all night long
Wanna hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
