River of time lyrics

[Verse 1]

Five years old, skippin' 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

[Chorus]

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

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

Driftin' on to where we're goin'

Hangin' on to what's left behind

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

[Verse 2]

Muscle car and a letter jacket, crusin' 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 growin' up would wait

[Chorus]

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

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

Driftin' on to where we're goin'

Hangin' on to what's left behind

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

[Verse 3]

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

Growin' old don't scare me none, I believe in streets of gold

[Chorus]

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

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

Driftin' on to where we're goin'

Hangin' 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
