Lyrics

Ride the River

Floatin' down that old river, boy, all my worries far behind

Floatin' down that old river, boy, leave old memories way behind

Yesterday is slowly fadin', all my life, I've been waitin' for this time

Floatin' down that old river, boy, leaves me feelin' good inside

Floatin' down that old river, boy, tryin' to get to the other side

Yesterday is slowly fadin', I been waitin' now forever for this ride

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Floatin' down that old river, boy, all my worries far behind

Floatin' down that old river, boy, leave old memories way behind

Yesterday is slowly fadin', I been waitin' now forever for this ride
