Listening to a river song Rolling on muddy river roll Your dirty water cannot taint your soul Rolling on, rolling on, till you are free In the peaceful sea Oh, Rolling on muddy river roll Your dirty water cannot taint your soul Rolling on, rolling on, till you are free, free Rolling on muddy river roll Your dirty water cannot taint your soul Rolling on, rolling on, till you are free, free Yeah, now Rolling on, rolling on, till you are free
City ways are gonna get you, baby City ways is gonna small you in City ways are gonna keep you, baby Down in the hollow you're in Down in the hollow you're in Everybody, it seems, is hustling Just to get an extra dollar or two When you think that is your turn to have it Someone's gonna step on you You know they're gonna step on you And it's hard A country life is all I've ever known, now Yeah, it's hard City life, girl, is bringing me down It's dragging me down

You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of But who are you to tell her who to love ? That's up to her, yes and the Lord above You better move on.

I can't blame you for loving her But can't you understand, man she's my girl ? And I-I-I-I'm never gonna let her go 'Cause I-I-I-I love her so.
Well, let me tell you how.
I think you better go, now I'm getting mighty mad You ask me to give up the only love that I ever had Maybe I would, oh but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go You better move on You better move on You better move on.
Married to the road, there's no other way to say it Baby found out quite early in the game That I belong to my songs, so she chose not to play it Now I walk down the street and I hear them call my name
