Roll Down The River Lyrics

You keep looking out my window at the driftwood floating by

Like a flock of birds in fall time 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

What goes down don't return

What goes down don't return

Yes 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

What goes down don't return

What goes down 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

And 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

What goes down don't return

What goes down don't return

What goes down don't return
