Hard Rock Bend

Rolling down the river at the hard rock bend

I've been wondering if I'm ever gonna make it

Don't know what's waiting for me at the end

And I don't know if I'll be strong enough to take it

Got here haulin' through the miles of red rock sand all alone and dreaming of the clear water

Found a lot of people calling me their friend

And I don't trust 'em even though they say I oughta

Lots of chitter chatter from the riverbanks

Lots of people sure acting friendly

I'm getting wiser so I say no thanks

I'm only going where the white water sends me

Oh well, life's a ride

Sometimes you never make it to the other side

Oh when you understand

I'll meet you at the hard rock bend

Faking the meander like you know your way

Telling tales that are tall enough to stand on

My hawks been circling you all day

He knows you're waiting for the moment I abandon

The weathers never better when you're goin down

And the sun illuminates your truest colors

I don't think I've ever seen so many clowns

That shake a hand a stab a back with the other

Lots of chitter chatter from the riverbanks

Lots of people sure acting friendly

I'm getting wiser so I say no thanks

I'm only going where the white water sends me

Oh well, life's a ride

Sometimes you never make it to the other side

Oh when you understand

I'll meet you at the hard rock bend

Oh you can't fight the tide,

sometimes you never make it to the other side

Oh when you understand

I'll meet you at the hard rock bend
