River Runs Through It

Long ago and far away the river was made I was a young boy, I was fishing on the riverbank And I learned my fair share on how to grow up fast And I didn't even know it back then, but a river ran through it Seventeen by now, wild and free Fell in love with a siren on the banks of the Coeur d'Alene That pretty little river queen turned me into a man And when my heart was broke, I didn't know but a river ran through it So, roll on mighty river just roll on, wash away my sins Show me the way back home No, I don't, no I don't know much about this life, but this is true At the end of it all we'll merge into one and a river runs through it Further down the line I was runnin' from the law I forgot who I was and made a bad turn in Arkansas But I found revival in a Rocky Mountain stream And when my soul came through I finally knew that a river runs through it So, roll on mighty river just roll on, wash away my sins Show me the way back home No, I don't, no I don't know much about this life, but this is true At the end of it all we'll merge into one and a river runs through it I'm an old man now, my hair is turnin' grey I made it to the river where I'll spend my final days And I watch the water flow by like my life's being played out And I pray that the Lord will float me home While a river runs through it So, roll on mighty river just roll on, wash away my sins Show me the way back home No, I don't, no I don't know much about this life, but this is true At the end of it all we'll merge into one and a river runs through it Lord, at the end of it all, I swear that a river runs through it
