Don Williams - Standing Knee Deep in a River lyrics

rate me

Friends I could count on, I could count on

1 hand with a left over finger or two

I took them for granted, let them all slip away

Now where they are I wish I knew.

They roll by just like water

And I guess we never learn

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst.

Sometimes I remember the good people I've known

Some I've forgotten I suppose

One or two still linger

Oh, I wonder now why I ever let them go.

They roll by just like water

And I guess we never learn

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst.

So the side walk is crowded the city goes by

I just rushed through another day

And a world full of strangers turn their eyes to me

But I just look the other way.

They roll by just like water

And I guess we never learn

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst.

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst...
