Beat Farmers - Watching The River lyrics

rate me

Mr. Jenson down the road

He's sixty-seven years old

His wife is dead and his son lives in Oregon

And the clock won't spare him nothing

The conclusion is forgone

And he keeps on watching the river roll along

You can look outside your window

At the hustling of the day

But nighttime falls and you know that it won't last long

One man eats beans for supper

One eats filet mignon

And you keep on watching the river roll along

Living like tomorrow is a universe way

As the sands run out with a dispassionate yawn

Never yielding to the wisdom

That there ain't no Avalon

We just keep on watching the river roll along

Did you tell your wife you love her?

Did you tell your kids the same?

Did you hold them in your arms with all your brawn?

Cause you won't be here forever

And the next day they'll be gone

As you keep on watching the river roll along
