Walkin' down by the river

Water running through my knees

(Ahhh)

River, oh river moves so free

(Ahhh)

Oh mighty river endlessly



Oo mighty river

I would love to be like you

Oo lonely river

Has not got the time to say



I was born into the city life

It's all that I've ever known

You know it's rough gettin' round this place

So crowded I can hardly breathe



You can only see about a block or two

In L. A. that's the truth

I'm lookin' for some country life

Some kickin' room no more city life

I want the river



Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river

(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river

(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river

(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river

(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on



It breaks my heart to see the city

I wonder why it ain't pretty

Oh I want to cry, want to cry

Come on you've got to do it do it do it



You got to run away you got to run away

You got to do it do it do it

You got to run away

You got to run away



You got to do it do it do it

You got to run away

You got to run away



You got to do it do it do it

You got to run away

You got to run away



You got to do it do it do it

You got to run away

You got to run away
