Outside of town there is a river
And it calls to me
Like a song in the night
A whole lotta people make way to that river
Cause it keeps on rolling on
Like everything's alright listen to me
That old river just keeps rolling on
Even when all love is just a song
And like that river we just keep on rolling along
Listen to me
Everybody needs something they can count on everyday
Like a clock that keeps the time for ya
It never drifts away
You and me you see are different but the same
And though we may not understand each other
We got to try just the same listen
That old river just keeps rolling on
Even when all love is just a song
And like that river we just keep on rolling along
Now all these thoughts don't mean nothing
If we don't live like we say
And I for one need love and direction
To help me find my way
Everybody sing
That old river just keeps rolling on
Even when all love is just a song
And like that river we just keep on rolling along
A little bit father
That old river just keeps rolling on
Even when all love is just a song
And like that river we just keep on rolling along
Go ahead brother come on people
That old river just keeps rolling on
Even when all love is just a song
And like that river we just keep on rolling along
