Headin’ off on a river at peace, in the cool of an evening,
Headin’off on a river of light, be a part of a river at night.
Nice to be on a river sometimes, like a junebug travellin’,
Headin’ off on a ribbon of song, been away from the river too long.
Good to be on a river somewhere, like a milkweed travellin’,
Headin’ off on a ribbon of dreams, be a part of a river it seems.
Can you tell me how long......must I travel on?
I won’t be lookin’ up old friends,
I won’t be lookin’ up old friends......
Ever again.
I spent ma life takin’ ma time, and I can’t change anything,
Take a look at my river of light, be a part of a river at night.
Nice t’ be on a river at peace, like a junebug travellin’,
Headin’ off on a river at last, my tears will be all in the past.
Good to be on a river somwhere, like a milkweed travellin’,
Headin’ down where the water runs deep, down deep where
the fish are asleep now.
Can you tell me how long......must I travel on?
I won’t be lookin’ up old friends,
I won’t be lookin’ up old friends......
Ever again.
Trouble don’t mean nothin’ to me, an’ ah had my share of it,
Headin’ off on a river of light, be a part of a river at night.
Nice to be on a river at peace, in the cool of an evening,
Headin’ off on the silver moon light, maybe love’ll find me tonight.
Good to be on a river somwhere, like a milkweed travellin’.
Headin’ off on a ribbon of dreams, be a part of a river it seems.
Can you tell me how long......must I travel on?
I won’t be lookin’ up old friends,
I won’t be lookin’ up old friends......
Ever again.....
Ever again.....
Ever again
