Decisions, decisions, decisions... What you gonna do? Choose wisely at the River's Edge. A poor choice is costly...
Not sure I remember how this song came about. Steve had already written the music and the lyrics came later. It is a great song with a well woven sub-story.
Near the river's edge
I can hear decision callin' me
Oh, she knows my name
should I take the bridge?
or should I dive into the dark and deep?
she says "hey Dave it's your game"
in the end you die anyway...
I got nothin' to say tonight
gotta feelin' that just ain't right
I.... told you so
I'm feelin' low
can't take many more
I'm goin' down
Did you make the pledge?
Did they make you sign the dotted line?
Oh, did you say, "i do?"
you better look again
'cause it seems to me your markin' time
Oh, don't let 'em change you
they wouldn't help if you asked them to
Chorus
Out on easy street,
who did you expect to meet?
Did you really think that they'd let you in?
let 'em play their silly games...
let 'em throw their pawns away
let them say what they will
it's still the same - game
Solo
