River Of Time

Five years old, skipping rocks

Across that Cypress Creek

Mama said: don't you forget

You got church shoes on your feet

Daddy smoked them Salems up

And wore them sideburns down

My world was on a big as that little blink and you miss it town

But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time

Yeah, we ride, ride, ride that river of time

Drifting on to where we're going

Hanging on to what's left behind

Yeah, we ride, ride, ride that river of time

Muscle car and a letter jacket,

Crusing the main street drag

Cool as a can of Copenhagen

And a six pack in a bag

We were all about them college girls

When they came home on break

Thought those days would last forever

And growing up would wait

But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time

Yeah, we ride, ride, ride that river of time

Drifting on to where we're going

Hanging on to what's left behind

Yeah, we ride, ride, ride that river of time

Now daddy's in his easy chair

Mama's hair's turned grey

She laughs and says it's all

Because of my young and wilder days

I found a girl that makes me smile

I'll never let her go

Growing old don't scare me none

I believe in streets of gold

But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time

Yeah, we ride, ride, ride that river of time

Drifting on to where we're going

Hanging on to what's left behind

Yeah, we ride, ride, ride that river of time

Yeah, we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time

Well, we ride that river of time
