The River

The roads are closed

Do you know where you should be?

When the lights are dim

Are you gonna come cryin' to me?

'Cause you're sitting there with your legs crossed

Lookin' so carefree

Do you think you can run away

From your so-called misery?

'Cause you know, the tide ain't rollin' in for you

The tide ain't rollin' in for me

Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?

Because I'll take you down to the river

Yes, I'll take you down to the river

In the end, I'll take you down to the river

But you're goin' in, you're goin' in

Now the choice is yours

Are you in or are you gonna back out?

Well this is your life baby

Are you gonna take a look around?

'Cause you seem to think that all

Your chances will chase you down

I'm telling you to open up your eyes

And take those feet off the ground

'Cause you know the tide ain't rollin' in for you

The tide ain't rollin' in for me

Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?

Because I'll take you down to the river

Yes, I'll take you down to the river

Don't you know, I'll take you down to the river

But you're goin' in, you're goin' in

Now the roads are closed

Do you know where you should be?

Now the lights are dim

Are you gonna come cryin' to me?

'Cause you know the tide ain't rollin' in for you

The tide ain't rollin' in for me

Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?

Because I'll take you down to the river

Yes, I'll take you down to the river

In the end, I'll take you down to the river

'Cause you're goin' in, you're goin' in
