Headed to the River (DRAFT 5)

[verse] You’ll never miss the water til the well runs dry You won't miss me til I say goodbye. Go ahead and try, but the time ain’t long. I got my truck fixed up, And I’m counting the days before I’m gone [bridge] I got you a dog to guard you while you sleep. He’ll give you protection, so you don’t need me. He don’t need appreciation to keep his dedication, So I’m headed to the river, cuz it's deep [chorus] Every time, You make me feel I’m nothing’, something’ thrown away I got my guitar, I can play it all day. You never appreciate the little things I do, Not one thing I do, That's why I’m leaving you. Yeah [verse] Some guys got jobs, other guys got dreams. All your little schemes, whatever you call it And it’s so important, the value of your things But you're just as empty as your wallet [bridge] If I stay you'll yell forever, I think it's time to part I don’t wanna be together if you ain’t got no heart. I need to find a new place, I can get some peace So I’m headed to the river, cuz it’s deep. You won't miss me til I say goodbye. Go ahead and try, but the time ain’t long.
