《The River Won’t Flow》歌词

[00:00:00] The River Won't Flow - Brooks Ashmanskas/Ty Taylor/Andrea Burns/Jessica Molaskey

[00:00:18] I left my home at fifteen

[00:00:21] I wore this very same coat

[00:00:24] My mama said son if you stay on this path

[00:00:27] You'll find a river full of money where the rich fish flow

[00:00:30] I said I'll catch me them fish

[00:00:34] And I've searched low and searched high

[00:00:36] Well I've seen more water than columbus had seen

[00:00:39] I found me this lake that was greener than green

[00:00:41] I said mama I know this is what you mean

[00:00:44] But when I bent for a sip the river ran dry

[00:00:48] The river won't flow for me no no no

[00:00:53] The river won't flow for me no no no no

[00:01:00] I live my life on the up and up

[00:01:02] And this is where I was meant to be

[00:01:05] But the river don't

[00:01:06] The river won't

[00:01:07] Flow for me

[00:01:14] I never had me no house

[00:01:17] I never had me no phone

[00:01:19] I never had much that I didn't have to go

[00:01:22] And fight for the right to call it my own

[00:01:26] I don't expect any help

[00:01:29] I don't expect nothing free

[00:01:31] It's not about being any righteous man

[00:01:34] It's not about god and the master plan

[00:01:37] It's not about doing the best I can

[00:01:40] No this corner was where I was born to be

[00:01:43] Cause the river won't flow for me no no no

[00:01:49] The river won't flow for me no no no no

[00:01:55] It's just one of the little lessons

[00:01:57] That I learned on my mama's knee

[00:02:00] The river don't

[00:02:01] The river won't

[00:02:02] Flow for me

[00:02:06] It's all luck

[00:02:08] It's just luck

[00:02:09] There's no way you can rig the game because

[00:02:12] It's all luck

[00:02:14] It's just luck

[00:02:15] The sinner and the saint could wind up the same cause

[00:02:18] It's all luck

[00:02:20] It's just luck

[00:02:21] That decides between the noose and the knife

[00:02:23] It's all luck

[00:02:25] It's just luck

[00:02:26] When you're begging to switch

[00:02:28] With some rich son of a bitch

[00:02:29] Who ain't never done nothing to deserve that life

[00:02:33] It seems so easy to run

[00:02:36] Until there's nowhere to go

[00:02:38] You never get much for the dues you pay

[00:02:41] You never go far on the easy way

[00:02:44] There isn't much choice

[00:02:46] But to kneel and pray

[00:02:47] For the river the river the river

[00:02:49] To flow

[00:02:51] Flow flow flow flow

[00:02:58] Flow flow

[00:03:00] The river's got to flow

[00:03:03] The river's got to flow

[00:03:06] River river river river

[00:03:11] Flow

[00:03:14] But the river won't flow for you no no no

[00:03:18] The river won't flow for you no no no no

[00:03:26] You gotta live how you gotta live

[00:03:28] You gotta do what you gotta do

[00:03:31] Cause the river don't

[00:03:32] The river won't

[00:03:33] The river can't

[00:03:34] The river ain't never ever gonna flow for you

[00:03:39] Never gonna flow for you

[00:03:41] Never gonna flow for you

[00:03:44] Never gonna flow for you
