“Find A River“ is a song from ’Thanks, I’ll Eat It Here’ - the only solo album by the late singer-songwriter Lowell George. While George is best known for his work with Little Feat, by 1977 Lowell felt that they were moving increasingly into jazz-rock, a form in which he felt little interest. As a result, he began working on his own album. ’Thanks, I’ll Eat It Here’ is an eclectic mix of styles reminiscent of Little Feat’s earlier albums - in particular Dixie Chicken, on which the track Two Trains originally appeared. The album was released just before the death of Lowell George in 1979 and has cover art by Neon Park (a feature of almost all Little Feat albums) containing several pop-/cult references including a picnic scene, mirroring Édouard Manet’s “Le déjeuner sur l’herbe“, which shows Bob Dylan, Fidel Castro and Marlene Dietrich as Der Blaue Engel with an open copy of Howl beside them.
Lyrics (Fred Tackett)
Oh I wanna find a river
And take it down to the sea
And drift on by so slowly
Oh if you think about me
You know you could help me through
You know I would return in kind
Oh I wanna find a city
That’s open wide
That’s open all night
Where I could not hide
From it’s burnin’ light
So warm, so bright
Let me run so free and easily
Shelter me with its sweet mysteries
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Oh I wanna find a city
Oh I wanna find my baby
But I do not know where she lies
And I do not know if she cries
Or laughs at me
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
I wanna find my baby
Oh I wanna find a river
