Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I still see that dock in June
Your sandals by the canoe
Mud on the bank, sun low and gold
You laughed like you knew my name
The porch light shook in the rain
Grandma’s radio sang all night
We were young with the whole road open
And a pocket full of change
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I walk that bend again
Hear the water call my skin
Same old trees, same old wind
Pulling me back in
[Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
To the riverwood replay
Take me back, take me back
Where the hurt can fade away
Riverwood replay
Riverwood replay
I still hear your voice in the reeds
And it stays with me
[Verse 2]
Now the town got bigger lanes
But the fields still hold your trace
Old tire swing and a rusted gate
Falling slowly into shade
I keep your picture by my bed
Creased at the corner, soft and worn
When the night gets too damn loud
I go where we were born
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I walk that bend again
Hear the water call my skin
Same old trees, same old wind
Pulling me back in
[Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
To the riverwood replay
Take me back, take me back
Where the hurt can fade away
Riverwood replay
Riverwood replay
I still hear your voice in the reeds
And it stays with me
[Bridge]
If I’m a little broke inside
Let the current carry that
Let the old song hold my hand
While I find my way back
[Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
To the riverwood replay
Take me back, take me back
Where the hurt can fade away
Riverwood replay
Riverwood replay
I still hear your voice in the reeds
And it stays with me
I still see that dock in June
Your sandals by the canoe
Mud on the bank, sun low and gold
You laughed like you knew my name
The porch light shook in the rain
Grandma’s radio sang all night
We were young with the whole road open
And a pocket full of change
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I walk that bend again
Hear the water call my skin
Same old trees, same old wind
Pulling me back in
[Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
To the riverwood replay
Take me back, take me back
Where the hurt can fade away
Riverwood replay
Riverwood replay
I still hear your voice in the reeds
And it stays with me
[Verse 2]
Now the town got bigger lanes
But the fields still hold your trace
Old tire swing and a rusted gate
Falling slowly into shade
I keep your picture by my bed
Creased at the corner, soft and worn
When the night gets too damn loud
I go where we were born
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I walk that bend again
Hear the water call my skin
Same old trees, same old wind
Pulling me back in
[Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
To the riverwood replay
Take me back, take me back
Where the hurt can fade away
Riverwood replay
Riverwood replay
I still hear your voice in the reeds
And it stays with me
[Bridge]
If I’m a little broke inside
Let the current carry that
Let the old song hold my hand
While I find my way back
[Chorus]
Take me back, take me back
To the riverwood replay
Take me back, take me back
Where the hurt can fade away
Riverwood replay
Riverwood replay
I still hear your voice in the reeds
And it stays with me
