[Verse 1]
I never had no regrets, boys, not for nothin' I've done
I owed the devil some debts, boys, paid 'em all up but one
I don't even regret the livin' that I'll be leaving behind
I've gotten weary of searching for something I couldn't find

[Chorus]
I'm going down to the shade by the river one more time
And feel the breeze on my face before I die
I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck for the losers
And then bend down, kiss the world goodbye

[Verse 2]
Come to lucky-in-lovin', I never had no complains
They never said I was evil, but then I wasn't no saint
I'm just a river that rolled forever and never got to the sea
I just ain't blamin' nobody, I had it coming to me

[Chorus]
I'm going down to the shade by the river one more time
And feel the breeze on my face before I die
I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck for the losers
And then bend down, kiss the world goodbye

[Outro]
I never had no regrets, boys, not for nothin' I've done
I owed the devil some debts, boys, paid 'em all up but one
I don't even regret the livin' that I'll be leaving behind
