In Their Own Words
“‘Rita' is a song about breaking free from the chains of alcohol. Rita is a black out drunk character that I used to morph into after too many drinks. I didn’t even know her for years until one morning when someone recounted the evenings events and Rita's character to me.” - Earleine
Lyrics
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
Let that river roar
Cutting through the valley floor
River hold me tight
River hold me deep
Valley open up it’s arms
In the river it will keep
Summer looked fine to me
Pale lightning burning in the sheets
Coffee on the front porch, laughing in the tub
Wondering what you were thinking of
Mountain living’s harder every year
Wasted nights just wiping off the tears
We were growing distant like silence in the trees
We just smiled and turned on the heat
Turn off that light
Pull on that door
Hand me your mouth
Tell me I’m yours
Tell me you’re mine
Tell me I’m fine
Dull out the ache in my domicile, stay a while
Where did you go drinking last night
Were you alone were you alright
I could have called you by your name
Would things have changed or stayed the same
Rita I can’t listen to you anymore
It’s my time, it’s my time
And Rita I can hear you knocking at my door
It’s my time, it’s my time
