[Verse 1]
Well, down in old Southfork, Kentucky
There lives a man everybody knows
Spends his days in a muddy haze
Tangled in the cattail poles
Workin' on an ancient bottle
In the shade of a yellow pine
Just a river fool on good old mountain wine

[Verse 2]
Takes a .410 out for huntin'
Sometimes, if he paddles far
Might even bring his old six string
Hammer that CCR
And if it don't feel right for pickin'
He might dance in the kudzu vine
Just a river fool on good old mountain wine

[Chorus]
Just a river fool on good old mountain wine
Shootin' at the moon and squallin' like a mountain lion
And you can hear him all the way in Jackson
Past the Wolf Creek line
Just a rivеr fool on good old mountain wine

[Verse 3]
Now, he lays down evеry evenin'
Kicked back on the gravel bar
'Bout as free as a man can be
Countin' those Kentucky stars
Dreamin' all by his lonesome
Content with his place in time
Just a river fool on good old mountain wine
[Chorus]
Just a river fool on good old mountain wine
Shootin' at the moon and squallin' like a mountain lion
And you can hear him all the way in Jackson
Past the Wolf Creek line
Just a river fool on good old mountain wine
He's just a river fool on good old mountain wine
