That Song About the River Lyrics

Artist: Don Williams
Album: Currents

I have seen the paddle wheelers rolling south on a summersâ‚¬â„¢ day. Iâ‚¬â„¢ve seen the lovers at the guardrails with stars in their lemonade and Iâ‚¬â„¢ve heard the hoboâ‚¬â„¢s gather, heard their banjoâ‚¬â„¢s brace the blade. Heard them sing about the river, called it the lazy manâ‚¬â„¢s parade.

Sing me that song about the river, green going away. You know I always did feel like a drifter at this time of day.

Last night I stood by the highway, pretended I was on my way. You know a hundred thousand headlights couldnâ‚¬â„¢t match the milky way and when the moonlight touches the water, surely something touches me and I go reaching for the river like itâ‚¬â„¢s reaching for the sea.

Sing me that song about the river, green going away. You know I always did feel like a drifter at this time of day.

Somethings go on for ever but truth donâ‚¬â„¢t ever stray. The wind may brush the water but the river wonâ‚¬â„¢t persuade.

Sing me that song about the river, green going away. You know I always did feel like a drifter at this time of day.
