Well I've tried and I've tried

But the river seems so wide

And my head hurts and my hands are tied

And it's so hard

When you're standing on the yard

Every time your number comes around

Call me up in dreamland

Radio to me man

Get the message to me

Anywhere you can

Let your river roll

Way down in your soul

Never to grow old

On a saxophone



From the airport to the plane

Way to the railroad train

Why don't we take it from the top

And start all over again

Every time you hear that whistle blow

You know you gotta put on your show

Every time your number comes around



Call me up in dreamland

Radio to me man

Get the message to me

Anywhere you can

Let your river roll

Way down in your soul

Never to grow old

On a saxophone



From the car to the bar

Why don't you pour it in a jar

Put a label on it

And send it off to the lost and found

You gotta get it in your brain

Before you go insane

Every time your number comes around



Call me up in dreamland

Radio to me man

Get the message to me

Anywhere you can

Let your river roll

Way down in your soul

Never to grow old

On a saxophone



Never to grow old

On a saxophone



Never to grow old

On a saxophone



Never to grow old

On a saxophone
