Written by Roger McGuinn



The river flows

It flows to the sea

Wherever that river goes

That's where I want to be

Flow river flow

Let your waters wash down

Take me from this road

To some other town



All he wanted

Was to be free

And that's the way

It turned out to be

Flow river flow

Let your waters wash down

Take me from this road

To some other town



Flow river flow

Past the shaded tree

Go river, go

Go to the sea

Flow to the sea



The river flows

It flows to the sea

Wherever that river goes

That's where I want to be

Flow river flow

Let your waters wash down

Take me from this road

To some other town
