This River Is Wild

Intro:                                        Leaves are fallin’ down on the beautiful ground I heard a story from the man in red He said "The leaves are fallin’ down Such a beautiful sound Son I think you’d better go ahead But you always hold your head up high ’Cause it’s a long long long way down This town was meant for passing through Boy it ain’t nothin’ new Now go and show ’em that the world stayed round But it’s a long long long way down                        You better run for the hills Before they burn Listen to the sound of the world Don’t watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current Lets you go Or should I just get along with myself I never did get along with everybody else I’ve been tryin’ hard to do what’s right But you know I could stay here all night   And watch the clouds fall from the sky This river is wild             This river is wild             Run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world Don’t watch it turn  I shake a little Sometimes I’m nervous when I talk  I shake a little Sometimes I hate the line I walk I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current Lets you go Or should I just get along with myself I never did get along with everybody else I’ve been tryin’ hard to do what’s right But you know I could stay here all night   And watch the clouds fall from the sky      Because this river is wild                Godspeed ya boy              This river is wild                               Now Adam’s taking bombs and he’s stuck on his mom Because that bitch keeps tryin’ to make him pray He’s with the hippie in the park combing over the dark Just tryin’ to get some of that little-girl play You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world Don’t watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current Lets you go Or should I get along with myself I never did get along with everybody else I’ve been tryin’ hard to do what’s right But you know I could stay here All night And watch the clouds fall from the sky   This pain is hell in me tonight Because this river is wild                Godspeed ya boy              This river is wild                               Because this river is wild                Godspeed ya boy              This river is wild                                   And cars are everywhere Raisin’ dust at the fairground I don’t think I ever seen so many headlights     But there’s somethin’ pullin’ me The circus and the crew Well they’re just passin’ through Makin’ sure the merry still goes ’round But it’s a long long long way down
