River Of Time

C

[Verse 1]
C                              
Five years old, skippin’ rocks 
Am7
across that Cypress Creek
F                                 
Mama said, “Don’t you forget, you 
    C
got church shoes on your feet”
C                               
Daddy smoked them Salems up and wore
Am7
 them sideburns down
F                              
My world was only as big as that 
         C
little blink-and-you-miss-it town

[Chorus]
        F           G           C
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, 
                 Am
ride that river of time
         F           G            
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that 
     C
river of time
         F                  G     
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, 
        C                 Am
hangin’ on to what’s left behind
         F           G            
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that 
     C
river of time

[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
C                                
Muscle car and a leather jacket, 
Am7
crusin’ the main street drag
F                                 
Cool as a can of Copenhagen and a 
C
six pack in a bag
C                                 
We were all about them college 
        Am7
girls when they came home on break
F                           
Thought those days would last 
              C
forever and growin’ up would wait

[Chorus]
        F           G           C
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, 
                 Am
ride that river of time
         F           G            
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that 
     C
river of time
         F                  G     
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, 
        C                 Am
hangin’ on to what’s left behind
         F           G            
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that 
     C
river of time

[Solo]
F  G  C  Am  F  G  C

[Verse 3]
     C                        
Now daddy’s in his easy chair, 
 Am7
mama’s hairs turned grey
     F                             
She laughs and says it’s all 
        C
because of my young and wilder days
   C                               
I found a girl that makes me smile,
      Am7
 I’ll never let her go
F                                 
Growin’ old don’t scare me none, I
    C
 believe in streets of gold

[Chorus]
            F           G         
Just gonna ride, ride, ride, ride,
  C                  Am
 ride that river of time
         F           G            
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that 
     C
river of time
         F                  G     
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, 
        C                 Am
hangin’ on to what’s left behind
         F           G            
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that 
     C
river of time
         F           G           
Yeah we ride, ride, ride, ride, 
C                 Am
ride that river of time
       F           G              
Oh we ride, ride, ride that river 
    C
of time
