Even the River

KEPT A COAT OF POLISH ON YOUR 97 PONTIAC

YOU ALWAYS HOPED SOMEDAY WE’D DRIVE AWAY AND NOT LOOK BACK

BIG DREAMS DON’T FIT SOMEWHERE THIS SMALL

NOW THAT YOU’RE GONE THERE’S NOTHING HERE AT ALL

EVEN THE RIVER RUNS AWAY FROM THIS TOWN

THE SUN DON’T ALWAYS STICK AROUND

IT’S LIKE GOD MADE THIS OLE HIGHWAY TO GO DOWN

EVEN THE RIVER, RUNS AWAY FROM THIS TOWN

GUESS I DON’T BLAME YA, CAUSE YOU HAD TO GO AND SEE THE WORLD

YOU TOLD ME 100 TIMES, YOU WEREN’T BORN A DOWN HOME GIRL

KEEP TELLING TELLING MYSELF THAT IT AIN’T ME

EVERYTHING AROUND HERE FINDS SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BE

EVEN THE RIVER RUNS AWAY FROM THIS TOWN

THE SUN DON’T ALWAYS STICK AROUND

IT’S LIKE GOD MADE THIS OLE HIGHWAY TO GO DOWN

EVEN THE RIVER, RUNS AWAY FROM THIS TOWN

I KEEP HOPING, SOMETHINGS GONNA BRING YOU BACK

WE BOTH KNOW THAT, ROUND HERE IT DON’T WORK LIKE THAT

EVEN THE RIVER, EVEN THE RIVER

EVEN THE RIVER RUNS AWAY FROM THIS TOWN

THE SUN DON’T ALWAYS STICK AROUND

IT’S LIKE GOD MADE THIS OLE HIGHWAY TO GO DOWN

EVEN THE RIVER, RUNS AWAY FROM THIS TOWN
