ROLL ON RIVER

©2017 music and words by John R. Black, 42nd Street Music Seattle

There’s no river like a river 

Flowin’ to the sea 

There’s no river like a river 

Bringin’ you to me 

When you find that river  

I’ll meet you on the shore 

Take you by the hand 

and love you like before 

 

(Chorus:)

Roll on river 

You're so wild and free 

Roll on river 

can’t you let me be 

Roll on river 

don’t matter day or night 

You just keep rollin, rollin 

Rollin out of sight 

You just keep rollin, rollin 

Rollin out of sight 

 

Theres no river like a river 

Flowin to the sea 

Oh, I want that river 

Bringing you to me 

But I tell you this river 

It’s got inside of me 

Can we shoot those rapids 

Make it to the sea 

 

(Chorus)

 

Find me those waters 

Before the journey ends 

Find me those waters 

They’re my only friend 

Oh I left you long ago 

Oh you know I love you so 

Find me that river 

‘cause she is all I know 

 

(Chorus)
