The Water in the River's Not Still
©Jeffrey C. Ashbaker 11-2013

Back in '72 I was working on the factory line
I should have been chasing my dreams
But my dreaming got left behind
So me and a friend of mine, drove a couple thousand miles
Running after sunshine and searching for our inner child
And I've been standing here looking back into that time
I was wondering if maybe I'll used what I find
---Chorus---
Oh...Don't they warn you
Oh...The road's uphill
You can't keep running and you can't go home after curfew
Cuz, everything changes and the water in the river's not still
Yeah...everything changes and the water in the river's not still
---------------------------------
You can't take back what has happened
And you'll never guess what might be
I only know this, cuz, the same thing happened to me
It doesn't matter where you go, or if you try to start anew
Even if you're hiding out, it always catches up with you
And you'll be standing there wondering what happened this time
Cuz everywhere you go, you're gonna be there to find
--Repeat Chorus--
-Solo-
-Bridge-
I used to do it too, until I learned from you
Life is easy, but you know we make it tough
Without love, without love
--Repeat Chorus--
