lyrics

on the river road

crazy theresa's got a smile on her hips
she drives a taxi
and she makes good tips
since she quit smokin
got a nose like a bloodhound
if you want her
well, she's around

sister sheila standin on the corner
dressed all in black
and lookin just like a mourner
nobody told her
nobody warned her
about the heartbreak kid
what he did, singin

honey honey, i got to know you
ain't got no money
but i got
plenty to show you
honey honey, meet me on the river road

cici riposo got a head like a bean
he steers a t-bird
like you've never seen
picks up the young ones
at the dairy queen
sayin, hop on in now

honey honey...

see that outlaw sittin under a tree
his collar's buttoned
so his girl won't see
she tells her mama
just before she leaves
i wish they would've hanged him
he was nothin but trouble singin

honey honey, i got to know you
ain't got no money
but i got
plenty to show you
honey honey, meet me on the river road

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
