I'm going down on the Nueces River Gonna call my brother, ask him to meet me there On the surface will be two men fishing Down below we are brothers with a love to share
I'm gonna lay my burdens down now Gonna ask the Lord to watch them a while I'm gonna walk where the sun is shining I'll be home when I have found a smile
There is a salt cedar tree that I know of It can take a breeze and make a melody I'm gonna climb up in those branches And ask if it would whisper its secrets to me
There'll come a time when the world is level There was a time when the mountains grew Then there is all that is here in the middle And how it's spent is up to me and up to you
