Celebrates the little river that runs through our county...thanks to everyone for help in making "Spoon River" a #1 song on soudclick's Americana Chart!
Story behind the song
Early October in Knox County, Illinois we have what's called the Spoon River Drive...people come from all over to celebrate country life.. the festivities follow the Spoon River with it's villages and flee markets...this is my tribute to the little stream that all county kids explored at one time or another...
Lyrics
Spoon River floods my mind
I walked your banks when I was just a child
There are new memories all the time
I knew when the days were young and mild
So carry me back home
For though my heart has roamed
I long to see Spoon River one more time
You delivered me at times
Drifting down your gentle flowing stream
I knew I'd see you one more time
With my eyes and not just with my dreams
You took my cares away
On those sunny autumn days
Now I long to see Spoon River one more time
I can hear you calling me from far away
I can see your gentle streams in a distant haze
Spoon River...floods my mind
I knew...I'd see you one more time
(instrumental)
You took my cares away
On those sunny autumn days
Now I long to see Spoon River with my eyes
I can hear you calling me from far away
I can see your gentle stream in a distant haze
Spoon River...floods my mind
I knew...your with me all the time
Spoon River...floods my mind
And oh I long to see Spoon River one more time
Spoon River
