Roll Down the River |
You keep looking out my window |
At the driftwood floating by |
Like a flock of birds in falltime |
You’re just itching to fly |
I know I cannot hold you |
Cause you live life to the hilt |
So go on get out of here girl |
I don’t want your guilt |
Go on and roll down your river Babe |
I’ll bet you’ll make that muddy water churn |
You’ve earned every scar |
That you brought with you Baby |
But there’s one lesson that you’ll never learn |
What goes down that river don’t return |
I remember when you washed up on my doorstep |
You had a dirty face, a damp dress and a dream |
But now you’re just a fish out of the water, Baby |
It’s time to throw you back into the stream |
So go on and roll down your river Babe |
I’ll bet you’ll make that muddy water churn |
You’ve earned every scar |
That you brought with you Baby |
But there’s one lesson that you’ll never learn |
What goes down that river don’t return |
Now don’t you bleed on me about all our good times |
Don’t tell me that you’ll never be the same |
Don’t tell me anything but goodbye Baby |
More than that would be just another game |
So go on and roll down your river Babe |
I’ll bet you’ll make that muddy water churn |
You’ve earned every scar |
That you brought with you Baby |
But there’s one lesson that you’ll never learn |
What goes down that river don’t return |
You leave me with a month of your sweet madness |
You leave me with your music in my head |
You leave me with the mystery of the river rolling |
You leave me with a desert for my bed |
So go on and roll down your river Babe |
I’ll bet you’ll make that muddy water churn |
You’ve earned every scar |
That you brought with you Baby |
But there’s one lesson that you’ll never learn |
What goes down that river don’t return |
