Roll Down The River Lyrics

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.
