Every day I pass her
on my way to work and
she calls to me: her voice
cool and deep, she tempts me
(Lord, she tempts me!)
a little more each day.
I got nothin’ and nobody
but if I call her bluff
that ol’ river gonna make
me late for work.
Damn late.

As I read I wondered who ‘she’ would be. A river, that works.
