The River Is Rollin'

She likes to drink
Her coffee black
And hand little sister's friends

She likes to leave
And never look back
But her old man keeps her in

As soft as she
Used to be
But she's getting kinda hard now

Oh, baby with a woman's dreams
Ooh, she said
That let me do it alone

And the river is rollin'
And this whole
World is closing in on me
Can't you see the way
My body burns
I've got to be free
And the river is rolling
I feel as thought I'm
Running out of time
I'm afraid to go insane
Watching as the river
Pass me by

These little boys
Keep calling her up
But she says she's staying home

These modern jerks
In the land and her jackets
Only wanna jump her bones

But she knows what she's
Waiting before
She says: Oh, oh
I'm not little girl anymore

And the river is rollin'
And this whole
World is closing in on me
Can't you see the way
My body burns
I've got to be free
And the river is rollin'
I feel as thought I'm
Running out of time
I'm afraid to go insane
Watching as the river
Pass me by

She'd like to cry sometimes
But she's way
Beyond that now

I ain't gonna try
To fight it
She's gonna fly to
A brand new world

And the river is rollin'
And this whole
World is closing in on me
Can't you see the way
My body burns
I've got to be free
And the river is rollin'
I feel as thought I'm
Running out of time

Ain't nothing gonna
Stop her now baby
Kiss that girl
Goodbye
Oh, yeah

Kiss that girl
Goodbye

Getting so tired of
Hanging around here
God don't you wanna
Just leave this place
Give me a cigarette
Oh, God!

Here comes Jerry
Around the corner again
I can't stand that guy
(River is rollin')
I don't think my dad would care
If I left anyway
(River is rollin')
Come on, come on
Let's get out a here

(River is rollin')
(River is rollin')
(River is rollin')
(River is rollin')
(River is rollin')
(River is rollin')
