Outside of town there is a river
And it calls to me
Like a song in the night
A whole lotta people make way to that river
Cause it keeps on rollin' on
Like everything's alright
That old river just keeps rollin' on
Even when all love is just a song
And like that river we just keep on rollin' along
Everybody needs somethin' they can count on everyday
Like a clock that keeps the time for ya
It never drifts away
You and me you see are different but the same
And though we may not understand each other
We got to try just the same
Now all these thoughts don't mean nothin'
If we don't live like we say
And I for one need love and direction
To help me find my way
Tom johnston Outside of town there is a river And it calls to me Like a song in the night A whole lotta people make way to that river Cause it keeps on rollin' on Like everything's alright That old river just keeps rollin' on Even when all love is just a song And like that river we just keep on rollin' along Everybody needs somethin' they can count on everyday Like a clock that keeps the time for ya It never drifts away You and me you see are different but the same And though we may not understand each other We got to try just the same Now all these thoughts don't mean nothin' If we don't live like we say And I for one need love and direction To help me find my way Explain Request ×
