When the whole world lets you down

Many rivers to crossBut I can't seem to find my way overWandering I am lost as I travel alongMany rivers to cross and it's only my willThat keeps me aliveI've been riped, washed up for years and,I merely survive because of my pride. And this loneliness won't leave me aloneIt's such a drag to be on your ownMy woman left and she didn't say whyWell I guess, I gotta try.Many rivers to cross but where to begin,I'm playing for timeThere'll be times when I find myself thinkingOf committing some dreadful crime. I've got many rivers to cross
