lyrics

THE RIVERS' ALWAYS BEEN FRIEND OF MINE
music & lyrics: bill mallonee

Check the source of the River's course
and every time i find
that River's always been
a friend of mine

i remember back when i was a kid
with an eye for the sublime
yep, that River's always been
a friend of mine

CHORUS:
Friend of mine there's no doubt
in season & out
though sometimes that river bed
has run dry
But that's only temporary
so me? I do declare-y
The river's always been
a friend of mine

whether panning for gold or baptizing a soul
or casting out your fly
That River's always been
a friend of mine
I'd ask her questions during those hard times
and i swear she did reply
that River's always been
a friend of mine

gather up your sorrows
and all those faces that you borrowed
just to find yourself...
a place to shine
and when you've drifted far from land
and when the shit hits the fan
That River's always been
a friend of mine
