Where The River Flows

Lyrics

Where the river flows,

Where the river flows.

I was walkin' the main road,

Comin' into town,

I came upon a stranger,

Lying on the ground.

He said "I been in prison,

And now I'm on the run,

I'm feelin' kinda weary,

Gotta make it home."

Chorus:

Where the river flows,

Where the water goes,

I'll be over there,

Waitin' over there,

Where the river flows.

Well I didn't have a lot to give,

But I gave him what I could,

Listened while he talked about

The bad times and the good.

And early in the mornin',

I took an old man home,

Left him by the river,

Left him all alone.

[Chorus x3]
