Lyrics:

Down by the river the corn is creepin'.

Cry for my lover. Lover's sleepin'.

Bad as it gets it's gottin' worse.

I wanna run. Had to learn to crawl.

The house on fire. The treaty's broken.

I call for the law. The law's a token.

As bad as it gets it's gotten worse.

I wanna run. I had to learn to crawl.

This trip is the worst. I don't mean maybe.

I call for the captain. She cries like a baby.

As bad as it gets it's gottin' worse.

I wanna run. I had to learn to crawl first.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye, baby, my friend.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye, baby, my friend. And she cries.

And she cries.

And she cries.

And she...

And then she...

I mighta not known. I mighta not guessed.

I mighta been fine if she had never confessed.

As bad as it gets it's gottin' worse.

I wanna run. I had to learn to crawl though.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye, baby, my friend.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye, baby, my friend. It's time to leave and I don't know when.
