Pam Tillis - The River & The Highway lyrics

rate me

(gerry house/don schlitz)

She follows the path of least resistance

She doesn't care to see the mountain top

She twists and turns with no regard to distance

She never comes to a stop

And she rollsshe's a river

Where she goestime will tell

Heaven knowshe can't go with her

And she rollsall by herself

All by herself

He's headed for a single destination

He doesn't care what's standing in his path

He's a line between two points of separation

He ends just where it says to on the map

And he rollshe's a highway

Where he goestime will tell

Heaven knowsshe can't go with him

And he rollsall by himself

All by himself

And every now and thenhe offers her a shoulder

And every now and thenshe overflows

And every now and thena bridge crosses over

It's a moment that every lover knows

And she rolls (and he rolls)

She's a river (he's a highway)

Where she goes (where he goes)

Time will tell (time will tell)

Heaven knows she can't go with him (he can't go with her)

And she rolls all by herself

And he rolls all by himself

Fare thee well
