Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Floatin' down that old river boy

All my worries far behind

Floatin' down that old river boy

Leave old memories way behind

[Verse 2]

Yesterday is slowly fadin'

All my life I've been waitin'

For this time

[Verse 3]

Floatin' down that old river boy

Leaves me feelin' good inside

Floatin' down that old river boy

Tryin' to get to the other side

[Verse 4]

Yesterday is slowly fadin'

I've been waitin' now forever

For this ride

[Verse 5]

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

[Verse 6]

Floatin' down that old river boy

All my worries far behind

Floatin' down that old river boy

Leave old memories way behind

[Verse 7]

Yesterday is slowly fadin'

I've been waitin' now forever

For this ride

[Verse 8]

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

[Verse 9]

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river

Ride the river in this boat, ride the river
