Song information
A laid back tune with guitar, harmonica, and vocal by me; and bass by Ed Wemmerus (sloparts) who sadly left this world some 10 years ago. A pleasure to have had him sit in on this song.

I sat down and started fooling around with the song sketch one morning in 2009. By evening it was complete. Crazy...

Any ways I hope this brings a lift to your soul...

Lyrics
Have troubles got you so entwined
Tangled up and undermined?
Then make a line down to the riverside.

So-called friends may malign
The breaks of life are so unkind
Just slip your mind down to the riverside.

Life dishes out unfair heartache
Trying, you can't catch a break
There's give and take down at the riverside.

Some dream that life's a piece of cake
In denial till they wake
For goodness sake come down to the riverside.

Hey my friend Chauncey, he's no fool
He understands life is cruel
But he knows it's cool down by the riverside.

For him this is the golden rule
Others play the stubborn mule
Here's hoping you'll come down to the riverside.

Come unwind, it's not too late
Bear in mind, don't hesitate.
Come clean your slate down at the riverside.

Just grab a plate of peace of mind
Don't debate, if you're so inclined.
Sit and dine down at the riverside.

Oh man, I miss Ed. It was great having a "neighbor" on MJ (he was in Arkansas and I was in Mississippi). 
It's a great song, made even more special by his inclusion on it.
Apprecate you sharing this one!

You've composed a 'timeless' piece as I hear it. So professionally done.
