And the River Is Me lyrics
I guess Ive always known
I was in this for life
Its cost me some sleepless days
Its cost me a wife
Maybe Ive spent a little too much time
Looking in the bathroom mirror
Waiting for the steam to disappear
Thinking I was getting clearer and clearer
Maybe I couldve been a cook
Or maybe taught high school math
Maybe I couldve been the man on the street
With a future as uncertain as my past
But Ive been singing for a living
Back and forth across America
Singing bout things I should talk to my shrink
And to my shrink singing kum-by-yah
With my head in a song and a song in my head
Just let me live until Im dead
Theres so many books I wish Id read
Like war and peace
So many friends Ive won and lost
So many masks Ive worn and tossed
Into troubled waters I could not cross
And the river is me, and the river is me
River run to the ocean
River roll to the sea
They had this test back in high school
Said I had a career in forestry
Had aptitude for isolation
Yeah, I could live without tv
But me, I took the low road
Looking for another light
I dont live in a tower on some fire road
But the human view is out of sight
With my head in a song and a song in my head
Just let me live until Im dead
Theres so many words I wish Id said
Like Im sorry I am sorry
So many friends Ive won and lost
So many masks Ive worn and tossed
Into troubled waters I could not cross
And the river is me, and the river is me
River run to the ocean
River roll to the sea
