The River Lyrics

Smiles on faces all turned to frowns

Just the same as me, or at least how I feel now

Ain't it like rich folks to turn their backs on a town

Buying up hotels and then shutting them down

Lonesome feeling sinking in

Looking back on a life filled with sin

But you can't trade in your sword for a pen

Besides, wouldn't recognize myself, so who would I be then?

The River keeps on flowing downstream

Tall Trees bend but don't break in the breeze

Women, they will send you to your knees

But the River keeps on flowing downstream

It gets so hard for people to change their ways

But we all move along one of these old days

A smile is returning to your face

I wish a feeling like this could last always

The River keeps on flowing downstream

Tall Trees bend but don't break in the breeze

Women, they will send you to your knees

But the River keeps on flowing downstream
