Only a River

[Verse 1] Well, I was born up in the mountains Raised up in a desert town And I never saw the ocean 'Til I was close to your age now [Chorus] Woah, Shenandoah, I long to see you Hey-hey-hey, your rolling river Woah, Shenandoah, I long to see you Hey-hey-hey, only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right [Verse 2] I'm goin' back to San Angelo The ground is hard, and the county's dry But I'm gonna get my fill somehow Rivers of corn, and wheat and rye [Chorus] Woah, Shenandoah, I long to see you Hey-hey-hey, your rolling river Woah, Shenandoah, I long to see you Hey-hey-hey, only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right [Bass Solo] [Chorus] Woah, Shenandoah, I long to see you Hey-hey-hey, your rolling river Woah, Shenandoah, I long to see you Hey-hey-hey, only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right [Verse 3] Ah, Red, Red River Valley Will she remember all the things we said? And what's the chance she'll remember All those nights in the riverbed? [Chorus] Woah, Shenandoah, I long to see you Hey-hey-hey, your rolling river Woah, Shenandoah, I long to see you Hey-hey-hey, only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right [Outro] Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right Only a river gonna make things right
