(Pal Waaktaar/Lauren Savoy)
I took a ride in an automobile
Pushed my hands out against the wheel
Asked a girl if she needed a ride
She said, "Sure, babe, but I wanna drive"
Hey now, wait awhile
We're going down with a smile
Cold river - she took me down
Cold river - she took my pride
River runs so deep
It runs so deep
It runs so deep
Had to stop on account of the storm
Seemed like years since I'd been warm
We drove all night till the tires blew
Got in the back and did what you do
Hey now, wait awhile
We're going down with a smile
Cold river -- she took me down
Cold river -- she took my pride
On a sunny day
On a sunny day
(She took my pride)
All the money you made
Did you need it, babe
