    The song warns of a girl who is lonely and heartbroken after being left alone. It advises the listener not to cross over to "the other side" of a river if they cannot handle the consequences, as they may get trapped and overwhelmed like the girl. If the listener wants to forget their problems, they can ride the narrator's train and lose themselves, which may help ease their grieving.

    Don't cross the river

    Em A
    There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
    F#m7 Bm
    She's got a broken heart
    Em A
    She's not the kind to take you down for long
    F#m7 Bm
    She knows and plays it smart

    Em A F#m7 Bm
    (Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
    Em A F#m7 Bm
    (Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
    Em A F#m7 Bm
    (Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
    Em A7
    (Ah--) Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh

    D G D G
    Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
    D G D G
    Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
    A
    All your life
    G C G Em F#m7 Bm
    You were on your own

    Bm G D
    If you want you can ride my train
    F# D
    And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
    G Em7 A7 D
    You'll lose yourself and then sometime
    D7 G
    Maybe even save yourself some grievin'

    Em7 A F#m7 Bm Em7 A7 D


    Oh, oh, oh, oh
