River Of Time

(Album: Country Heart - 2006)

Early one morning a new day was dawning
I was 16 and strong as a horse
I didn't know nothing about nothing
But I knew everything of course

I turned 21 toting a gun
And losing some good friends of mine
I was crossing my first dreams of sorrow
On the way down the river of time

This river rolls like a rocket
I don't meander and wind
Ain't a power on earth that can stop it
We're all swept up in the grind

So find your companion, the one that will love you
All the way till the end of the line
It's the duest of dream in the great scheme of things
Going down the river of time

I woke up at 30 and started to worry
About the glaring mistakes of my past
I still had high aspirations
But I knew that I better move fast

Now I'm staring at 40 and oh, Lord, Lordy
I'm still a long way from the top
I've still got the heart but I'm falling apart
Reaching the hands of the clock

This river rolls like a rocket
I don't meander and wind
Ain't a power on earth that can stop it
We're all swept up in the grind

So find your companion, the one that will love you
All the way till the end of the line
It's the duest of dream in the great scheme of things
Going down the river of time

It's the duest of dream in the great scheme of things
Going down the river of time
