Flowin' river, now a still lake

Makes you shiver when you

Think of what they take

Where's your future

when you've lost today

Don't wash your tears away

Seek the vision, and see the gift

Show the children there's, something left

When they grow older they'll, learn to say

Don't wash your tears away

Chorus:

Can't stop the whiskey can't stop the wine

Can't stop a good friend from dying

Don't know the answer

but I've gotta keep trying

Can't stop a good friend from dying

Gather moments that add up our life

Sometimes regrets that cut like a knife

Start seeing the damage

only years after we're through

Don't let it take a hold of you
