Old River

Old river lucky lucky old river

River everyday you just lay around Memphis and New Orleans

You don't worry bout the crops you don't drive the Interstate

You got no time for clocks cause you're never running late

You don't pass laws or worry if the mortgage payment's due

And old river lucky lucky old river

River I'm thinkin' you just roll along laughin' at the ones who do

Old river lucky lucky old river

How many times have I wished that I could be like you

You roll on to the music no matter what song they sing

And old river lucky lucky old river

River everyday you just lay around Memphis and New Orleans

[ dobro - guitar ]

You never have fallen in love or looked into blue eyes

But you touch everything you see and you've heard all the lies

You're never gonna know what loneliness and heartaches are all about

Cause old river lucky lucky old river

River anytime you get to feeling blue you just head on south

Old river lucky lucky old river

How many times have I wished that I could be like you

You roll on to the music no matter what song they sing

And old river lucky lucky old river

River everyday you just lay around Memphis and New Orleans
