Lyrics

Something About A River
Ed Bentley/Jon Philibert edbentley@mail.com

We would play by the river in the sunshine
Like ol' Huck Finn might have done
As the shadows would deepen, we'd hear mama callin'
Come home, your supper's on
What is it about that place and time
That's never ever too far from my mind

Chorus
Oh there's something about a river
Seems to call me like a song
It don't bother anybody
Just keeps rolling, right along
There's a mystery in it's journey
We can't know, the meaning of
Oh there's something, bout' a river
Something, that I love

Now whenever that city life gets heavy
I find myself right back here once again
Sitting on a levee, staring at this ol' river
Feels just like a long lost friend
No busy life out here to bother me
Just watching life pass bye so peacefully

Chorus

Bridge
When my time is through, life slips away
I know it'll carry me home again one day

1/2 Chorus
There's a mystery in it's journey
We can't know, the meaning of
Oh there's something, bout' a river
Something, that I love
