Where the river flows, where the river flows.



I was walkin' the main road, comin' into town,

I came upon a stranger, lying on the ground.

He said "I been in prison, and now I'm on the run,

I'm feelin' kinda weary, gotta make it home."



[Chorus:]

Where the river flows, where the water goes,

I'll be over there, waitin' over there, where the river flows.



Well I didn't have a lot to give, but I gave him what I could,

Listened while he talked about the bad times and the good.

And early in the mornin', I took an old man home,

Left him by the river, left him all alone.



[Chorus x3]
