we do some good and we do some bad
you clean up the house and make a mess instead
and the good, can be not so right
and the bad, not the worst
our love is like a sweet river rollin'
a sweet river rollin'
a sweet river rollin', in my life

you thought yours was a castle
but I know mine is the garden
and your thoughts, may be not so bright
and my dreams, not the worst, it seems
our love is like a sweet river rollin'
a sweet, sweet river rollin'
a sweet river rollin', in my life

our love is like a sweet river rollin'
a sweet, sweet river rollin'
a sweet river rollin', in my life

your love is like a sweet river rollin'
a sweet, sweet river rollin'
a sweet river rollin', in my life
