The River's Gonna Cry When You're Gone

Hey, I heard you want to leave this place

Where we grew up, this old town, just put it all behind

Remember, you and I would always find somewhere to hide when we were kids

So we could see and hear the water run

The river's gonna cry when you're gone

Where will you go, and won't you miss the ones you know?

I'll be here hangin' on, waitin' for your call

Seems like time has a way of passin' by

And leave a mark in our minds that turn to memories

The river's gonna cry when you're gone-gone, gone-gone

The river's gonna cry when you're gone-gone, gone-gone

The river's gonna cry when you're gone-gone, gone-gone

The river's gonna cry when you're—

The river's gonna cry when you're—

The river's gonna cry when you're gone

Hey, I was hoping you would stay

But I've always known that you would go and find your own way

I still see when we climbed up in those trees

Twelve years old, to feel the wind and watch the river run

And the sun would always shine

When we sat there, you and I

The river's gonna cry when you're gone-gone, gone-gone

The river's gonna cry when you're gone-gone, gone-gone

The river's gonna cry when you're gone-gone, gone-gone

The river's gonna cry when you're—

The river's gonna cry when you're—

The river's gonna cry when you're gone

It's gonna cry, it's gonna cry

The river's gonna cry when you're gone

It's gonna cry, it's gonna cry

Hey, I heard you want to leave this place

Where we grew up, this old town, just leave it all behind

The river's gonna cry when you're gone
