Banks Of The River

(album: Kuntry - 2011)

Sitting on the banks of the river and I watch it roll down
And I, can't help but think that I wish it'd turn around
Watch it flow back to me then I could change it's path
Sorta like I'm going back and I'm changing the past

Sitting on the banks of the river and these thoughts going through my head
Kinda like I wish I could go back and take back feeling everything's done and unsaid
Then a lot of bridges that stood tall that I burned and it went up in smoke
I could unburn and then turn around and reverse all them many tight bonds that I broke
And the time is starting to go and fly by and the days, well they turning into years
I said the time is starting to go and fly by and the hopes, well they turning into fears
I don't wanna go back, but I think to myself yo is it really that feasible
Is the ability to turn back the clock just a little bit so unreasonable
Well I know it is but I guess my mind is sitting in a vat that's full of [?]
And the river's flow has got me hypnotized and my mind is somewhere off in left field
And the birds chirp, and the water flows, and then they go a little bit deeper off
And that serenity with the wind blowing and I'm on the ground and it's feeling so soft
And I know I can't turn back the time and if I could, I guess I'd already be done
But if you can't dream of fictitious things, well then somebody tell me what's the fun
So if you don't know exactly where I've gone and you try to think and you draw a blank
You can find me outside in that cool breeze, I'm sitting down and I'm chilling on that river bank

Sitting on the banks of the river and I watch it roll down
And I, can't help but think that I wish it'd turn around
Watch it flow back to me then I could change it's path
Sorta like I'm going back and I'm changing the past

I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on the banks of the river yeah
I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on the banks of the river yeah

D. Thrash and I'm sitting on the river banks, I pray to the Lord and I give thanks
With the cool breeze and the green trees, everything is so unique
Man, I love it out here, toes in the water it's crystal clear
And, I'm looking straight ahead, but their ain't nothing going on in my head
That's right, not a care in the world, and when I get bored my thumbs twirl
Knowing I should be fishing, can't even think about what I'm missing
I pick up a flower, and I hold it up to my nose
It's got me reminiscing while I'm out here

Sitting on the banks of the river as I watch it roll down
And I, can't help but think that I wish it'd turn around
Watch it flow back to me then I could change it's path
Sorta like I'm going back and I'm changing the past

Sitting on the banks of the river as I watch it roll down
And I, can't help but think that I wish it'd turn around
Watch it flow back to me then I could change it's path
Sorta like I'm going back and I'm changing the past

I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on the banks of the river yeah
I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on the banks of the river yeah
