River Song
Dennis Wilson Lyrics

Walkin' down by the river
Taking a walk by the river

Water running through my knees
Feeling the river water flow through your legs

(Ahhh)
Sighing in pleasure of the moment

River, oh river moves so free
Being fascinated by how the river flows so effortlessly

(Ahhh)
Feeling renewed by the experience

Oh mighty river endlessly
Marveling at how the river goes on and on

Oo mighty river
Acknowledging the power of the river

I would love to be like you
Wishing to have the same unrestricted spirit

Oo lonely river
Relating to how the river is always moving forward, without companionship

Has not got the time to say
Being too busy flowing through its course to pause and talk

I was born into the city life
Being born into an urban environment

It's all that I've ever known
Having no experience living elsewhere

You know it's rough gettin' round this place
Finding it difficult to navigate in the crowded city

So crowded I can hardly breathe
Feeling suffocated by the city's population density

You can only see about a block or two
Not being able to see far in Los Angeles due to visibility issues

In L. A. that's the truth
Confirming that the problem is specific to Los Angeles

I'm lookin' for some country life
Seeking a change of pace to a more rural lifestyle

Some kickin' room no more city life
Needing more space and freedom than the city can offer

I want the river
Desiring the serenity and tranquility of the river

Rollin' rollin' rollin' on river
Echoing the river's constant motion and freedom

(I got to get away I got to get away I got to get away)
Feeling the urgency of needing to escape the city

It breaks my heart to see the city
Feeling disappointment at the state of the urban environment

I wonder why it ain't pretty
Questioning why the city isn't more aesthetically pleasing

Oh I want to cry, want to cry
Feeling emotional at the sight of the city's ugliness

Come on you've got to do it do it do it
Encouraging oneself to make a change

You got to run away you got to run away
Advising oneself to escape the city's negativity

You got to do it do it do it
Urging oneself to take action

You got to run away
Emphasizing the importance of escaping the city

You got to run away
Repeating the need to run away

You got to do it do it do it
Continuing to motivate oneself to take action

You got to run away
Stressing the need to leave the city behind

You got to run away
Reiterating the importance of running away

You got to do it do it do it
Encouraging oneself to take action

You got to run away
Urging oneself to escape the city's negativity

You got to run away
Stating how crucial it is to run away from the city

You got to do it do it do it
Encouraging oneself to take action
