Lyrics
0:05You keep looking out my window
0:08At the driftwood floating by
0:11Like a flock of birds in fall time
0:14You're just itching to fly
0:17I know I cannot hold you
0:19Cause you live life to the hilt
0:22So go on get out of here girl
0:26I don't want your guilt
0:30Go on and roll down your river babe down your river
0:35I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn water churn
0:41You've earned every scar
0:43That you brought with you baby
0:46But there's one lesson that you'll never learn
0:51What goes down that river don't return
0:55What goes down that river don't return
1:00What goes down that river don't return
1:04I remember when you washed up on my doorstep
1:10You had a dirty face a damp dress and a dream
1:16But now you're just a fish out of the water baby
1:21It's time to throw you back into the stream
1:26So go on and roll down your river babe down your river
1:32I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn water churn
1:37You've earned every scar
1:40That you brought with you baby
1:42But there's one lesson that you'll never learn
1:48What goes down that river don't return
1:51What goes down that river don't return
1:57What goes down that river don't return
2:01Now don't you bleed on me about all our good times
2:07Don't tell me that you'll never be the same
2:10Never be the same
2:12Don't tell me anything but goodbye baby
2:18More than that would be just another game
2:23So go on and roll down your river babe your river
2:28I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn water churn
2:34You've earned every scar
2:36That you brought with you baby
2:38But there's one lesson that you'll never learn
2:44What goes down that river don't return
2:52Goes down that river
2:55Goes down that river
2:58You leave me with a month of your sweet madness
3:03You leave me with your music in my head
3:08You leave me with the mystery of the river rolling
3:14You leave me with a desert for my bed
3:18So go on and roll down your river babe down your river
3:24I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn water churn
3:29You've earned every scar
3:32That you brought with you baby
3:34But there's one lesson that you'll never learn
3:40What goes down that river don't return
3:43What goes down don't return
3:48What goes down don't return
3:54What goes down don't return
3:59What goes down don't return
4:04What goes down don't return
4:09What goes down don't return
4:14What goes down don't return
4:19What goes down
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 down your river I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn 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 that river don't return 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 down your river I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn 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 that river don't return 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 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 your river I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn 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 Goes down that river Goes down that river 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 down your river I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn 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 What goes down don't return What goes down don't return What goes down don't return What goes down don't return What goes down
