This town ain't ten feet wide
And population 2-0-5
Just a place that the river goes by
And it don't slow down
It gets on out
Mud mixed in with sin
From
Don't need no more from this town
It just can't win
It all makes sense
That's why the river runs yeah
That's why the river runs
I can't blame that water for leaving
If I rolled in here I wouldn't stick around either
That's why the river runs yeah
This town ain't nothin' but
Bunch of worn out same ole stuff
A dried up whiskey cup
And a broken heart hiding in the dark
It creeps up from behind
Like a cotton mouth showing wide
You can bet it's gonna bite
If you get too close, you better go
That's why the river runs yeah
That's why the river runs
I can't blame that water for leaving
If I rolled in here I wouldn't stick around either
That's why the river runs yeah
He knows better than to stop by now
So it never has to worry about getting back out
That's why the river runs
That's why the river runs
I can't blame that water for leaving
If I rolled in here I wouldn't stick around either
That's why the river runs yeah
That's why the river runs
That's why the river runs
