Down Delaware River, I went with her

We pulled over by the silvery blue

Leather seat Chevy, sticky and sweaty

We went swimmin' in our birthday suits

A sleepy mamasita, thermos of margaritas

We’re never gonna make it back to New York now

Freckles on your shoulder get me growin' older

I gotta be holdin' on to you somehow

Before you float away

Float away

Go---ne to stay

And never return
[Verse 3]

I keep an old photo when I ride solo
A E
Hidden away on the driver's side
E B
Torn and out of focus, I don't notice
A B
Till I was cleanin' out the van last night
[Verse 4]
E B
Tucked away sweetly in an old CD

Between the pages of the liner notes

Let you float away

Maybe I'll see her in an old theater

When I'm rollin like a rolling stone
E B
Pickin out a new tune, lookin' round a big room
A B
In Baton Rouge or San Anton
[Verse 6]
E B
On a Saturday night, underneath the spotlight
A E
We’ll communicate a secret song
C#m G#m
That I could never do right, never knew the good life
A F#
Always packed up, soon to be gone
[Chorus]
B A
And I just float away
B A
Float away

Go---ne to stay

And never return

Never return
