Crooked Rivers Lyrics

Sittin' on the fence in a lonesome land

Looking at the stars, searching for a friend

There are times when the world feels a mile away

No one asks the devil for a perfect day

Now the sun coming up across the hills

'Neath the clouds, like a blanket, sleeping in

When the crow through the sky flies alone against the wind

Who can find long straight lines, but crooked rivers

Standing in the sun with a view for miles

Over the horizon, people livin' different lives

How's it come that a mother raised a fist against a son

You can raise 'em how you want, gotta love 'em how they are

Let the rain settle down where it will

And the wind like a mistress o'er the hills

When a man builds a fence, wilderness is in a prison

He'll leave behind long straight lines and crooked rivers

Now the sun is coming up across the hills

'Neath the clouds, like a blanket, sleeping in

When a crow through the sky flies alone against the wind

Who can find long straight lines, but crooked rivers

Let the rain settle down where it will

And the wind like a mistress o'er the hills

When a man builds a fence, wilderness is in a prison

He'll leave behind long straight lines and crooked rivers

Ooh, ooh, ooh

He'll leave behind long straight lines and crooked rivers

Who can find long straight lines, but crooked rivers
