I've been runnin' like a freight train, honey
You can't slow down, still chasing that money
I'm worn out like the ostrich on my boots
And I found a woman and she married me
Now we're dreamin' of a home and a family
A place down on the creek where we can plant our roots
Life is full of ups and downs
And the pain you feel won't always be around
And the rivers run, the world keeps turning
Oh, in all my years I've slowly come to know
The troubles come and go
I've been down, I've taken some blows
Found the highs always seem to outweigh the lows
And a simple life can ease the troubles on your mind
There was a Man who died for my sins
He was crucified and then He rose again
And every knee's gonna bow at the end of time
And life is full of ups and downs
And the pain you feel won't always be around
And the rivers run, the world keeps turning
Oh, in all my years, I've slowly come to know
Troubles come and go
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
And life is full of ups and downs
And the pain you feel won't always be around
And the rivers run the world keeps turning
Oh, in all my years, I've slowly come to know
Yeah, in all my years, I've slowly come to know
Troubles come and go
Been running like a freight train, honey
You can't slow down still chasing that money
I'm worn out like the ostrich on my boots
