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]
