From the recording Sweet Company
Lyrics
Headin’ down the river with no where to go
Time for thinkin’ about things that I know
Some good, some bad, some mediocre too
Some old and tired, some brand spankin’ new
Show me the way that this old river flows
Show me the places that God only knows.
Maybe we will find us a place in the sun
Have us some kids, teach them how to run
Maybe we will grow old in each other’s arms
When we are living on our sunny farm
Show me the way that this old river flows
Show me the places that God only knows.
Headin’ down the river just take it day by day
Time for thinkin’ about what floats away
All of my sorrow and all of my pain
All of my sunshine and all of my rain
Show me the way that this old river flows
Show me the places that God only knows.
Maybe we don’t need it and maybe we do
Maybe it’ll be waiting when we are through
Maybe you can tell me how it will be
When we are living in sweet harmony
Show me the way that this old river flows
Show me the places that God only knows.
