This river is wild, this river is a sea.

But you always hold your head up high

Cause it's a long, long, long way down

This town was meant for passing through

But it ain't nothing new

Now go and show them

That the world stayed round

But it's a long, long, long way down

You better run for the hills before they burn

Listen to the sound of the world

And watch it turn

I just want to show you what I know

And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I just get along with myself

I never did get along with everybody else

I've been trying hard to do what's right

But you know I could stay here all night

And watch the clouds fall from the sky

This river is wild

This river is wild

Run for the hills before they burn

Listen to the sound of the world

Watch it turn

But shake a little

Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk

I shake a little

Sometimes i hate the line I walk

I just want to show you what I know

And catch you when the current lets you go
