Don Williams - That Song About The River

That Song About The River

(Charles John Quarto, Steve Gillette)

I have seen the paddle wheelers
Rolling south on a summers' day.
I've seen the lovers at the guardrails
With stars in their lemonade
And I've heard the hobo's gather,
Heard their banjo's brace the blade.
Heard them sing about the river,
Called it the lazy man's parade.

Sing me that song about the river,
Green going away.
You know I always did feel like a drifter
'Bout this time of day.

Last night I stood by the highway,
Pretended I was on my way.
You know a hundred thousand headlights
Couldn't match the milky way
And when the moonlight touches the water,
Surely somethin' touches me
And I go reachin' for the river
Like it's reachin' for the sea.

So, Sing me that song about the river,
Green going away.
You know I always did feel like a drifter
'Bout this time of day.

Somethings go on forever
But truth don't ever stray.
The wind may brush the water
But the river won't persuade.

So, Sing me that song about the river,
Green going away.
You know I always did feel like a drifter
'Bout this time of day...

Mirror lyrics:

'Bout this time of day...
You know I always did feel like a drifter
Green going away.
So, Sing me that song about the river,

But the river won't persuade.
The wind may brush the water
But truth don't ever stray.
Somethings go on forever

'Bout this time of day.
You know I always did feel like a drifter
Green going away.
So, Sing me that song about the river,

Like it's reachin' for the sea.
And I go reachin' for the river
Surely somethin' touches me
And when the moonlight touches the water,
Couldn't match the milky way
You know a hundred thousand headlights
Pretended I was on my way.
Last night I stood by the highway,

'Bout this time of day.
You know I always did feel like a drifter
Green going away.
Sing me that song about the river,

Called it the lazy man's parade.
Heard them sing about the river,
Heard their banjo's brace the blade.
And I've heard the hobo's gather,
With stars in their lemonade
I've seen the lovers at the guardrails
Rolling south on a summers' day.
I have seen the paddle wheelers
