You know i love getting up in the morning
When the sun first strikes the trees
All the morning birds that sing above
Still bring back memories
Of a girl who stood beside me
When the rights i did were wrong
But she went back down the river
Just when i thought i could be strong
When i thought i could be strong, so i sing
I.O.I.O.
She never told me why she left me
But the letter said goodbye
Now my mornings are for wond'ring
And my nights to reason why
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
Of a girl i had to hold
But she went back down the river
Just when i thought i could be strong
When i thought i could be strong, so i sing
