Well the creek will still be running seven days a week
Your leaving me won't change a doggone thing
The roof on the kitchen will still have the same old leak
And after you're gone the creek will still be running seven days a week
After all these years all of a sudden you think you're gonna be boss
But you should know me well enough by now to know I ain't never gonna ride that hoss
There'll never be a day if I got something to say I won't stand right up and speak
After you're gone the creek will still be running seven days a week
In the fall of the year the leaves on the trees out back will still turn brown
And in the heat of the summer the well will still go dry
The boards on the floor just inside the door will still have the same old squeak
After you're gone the creek will still be running seven days a week
After all these years all of a sudden you think you're gonna be boss
But you should know me well enough by now to know I ain't never gonna ride that hoss
There'll never be a day if I got something to say I won't stand right up and speak
And after you're gone the creek will still be running seven days a week
Yeah after you're gone the creek will still be running seven days a week
