Lyrics

Jack is my friend, He came around the other day,
He said.. ?Man, I?m so tired of this place,
Too many streets and too many signs and everybody?s uptight
Wishin? it?s the way it was when I was livin? the simple life
I miss those days we used to go out on the sea,
Sail away on the wind and the breeze.?

So I?m gone? Goin? back on the river
I?m gone where the sweet, sweet waters flow
I?m gone? Goin? back on the river
Gonna ride that river tide wherever it goes
Where it goes? Where it goes...


Now, I know a man, He?s just livin? his life,
Thought I?d ask him for some advice.
He said... ?I?ve been around for many fine years and many fine days,
And before you know, It goes slippin? away
So get on board, And don?t go missin? the boat
Life?s a river and your dreams are afloat!?

So come on? Get back on the river
C?mon, where the sweet, sweet waters flow
C?mon? Get back on the river
Let?s ride that river tide wherever it goes
Where it goes? I don?t know...

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO

It?s a too busy world, You need some time to take some time
Pull your shoes off and throw out the line
Be like a kid and play a little hookey from school
Head on down to the nearest swimmin? pool
Fish in a hole, You got a pole, you got a play
Life?s a river and it?s ripplin? away.?
