Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If your looking for the big adventure

And gold is all that's on your mind

If all you want's someone to take your picture

Then I won't waste your time

[Verse 2]

See maybe I'm too quiet for you

You probably never noticed me

But if you're too big to follow rivers

How you ever gonna find the sea?

[Verse 3]

So follow me, I'll be your river, river

I'll do the running for you, follow me

I'll be your river, river, I'll move the mountains for you

Follow me, I'll be your river, river

I'm here to keep you floating, follow me

I'll be your river, river, river, river, yeah

[Verse 4]

If all you want are answers to your questions

And you can't seem to find no love for free

If you're looking for the right direction

Then darling, look for me

[Verse 5]

See I can make the load much lighter

I just need you to confide in me

But if you're too proud to follow rivers

How you ever gonna find the sea?

[Verse 6]

So follow me, I'll be your river, river

I'll do the running for you, follow me

I'll be your river, river, I'll move the mountains for you

Follow me, I'll be your river, river

I'm here to keep you floating, follow me

I'll be your river, river, river, river, yeah

[Verse 7]

Wherever you're standing, I will be by your side

Through the good, through the bad, I'll never be hard to find

Said, wherever you're standing, I will be by your side

Through the good, through the bad, I'll never be hard to find

[Verse 8]

So follow me, I'll be your river, river

I'll do the running for you, follow me

I'll be your river, river, I'll move the mountains for you

Follow me, I'll be your river, river

I'm here to keep you floating, follow me

I'll be your river, river, river, river, yeah

[Verse 9]

Wherever you're standing, I will be by your side

Through the good, through the bad, I'll never be hard to find
