Harry Chapin - Roll Down The River Lyrics
You keep looking out my windowAt the driftwood floating byLike a flock of birds in falltimeYou're just itching to flyI know I cannot hold youCause you live life to the hiltSo go on get out of here girlI don't want your guilt.Go on and roll down your river BabeI'll bet you'll make that muddy water churnYou've earned every scarThat you brought with you BabyBut there's one lesson that you'll never learn.What goes down that river don't return.I remember when you washed up on my doorstepYou had a dirty face, a damp dress and a dreamBut now you're just a fish out of the water, BabyIt's time to throw you back into the stream.So go on and roll down your river BabeI'll bet you'll make that muddy water churnYou've earned every scarThat you brought with you BabyBut there's one lesson that you'll never learn.What goes down that river don't return.Now don't you bleed on me about all our good timesDon't tell me that you'll never be the sameDon't tell me anything but goodbye BabyMore than that would be just another game.So go on and roll down your river BabeI'll bet you'll make that muddy water churnYou've earned every scarThat you brought with you BabyBut 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 madnessYou leave me with your music in my headYou leave me with the mystery of the river rollingYou leave me with a desert for my bed.So go on and roll down your river BabeI'll bet you'll make that muddy water churnYou've earned every scar-
