River of Love - George Strait

It's three miles to the river That would carry me away And two miles to the dusty street That I saw you on today It's four miles to my lonely room Where I will hide my face And about a half a mile to the downtown bar That I ran from in disgrace Lord, how long have I gotta keep on running? Seven hours, seven days or seven years All I know is, since you've been gone Feel like I'm drowning in a river Drowning In a river of tears Drowning in a river Feel like I'm drowning Drowning in a river In three more days, I'll leave this town And disappear without a trace A year from now, maybe settle down Where no one knows my face I wish that I could hold you One more time to ease the pain But my times run out and I got to go Got to run away again Still I catch myself thinking One day I'll find my way back here You'll save me from drowning Drowning in a river (Drowning) Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feel like I'm drowning Drowning in a river Oh, how long must this go on? Drowning (In a river, drowning) Drowning In a river of tears

I got the razor at my wrist 'cause I can't resist I've got this fever burnin' fist that does as I wish But when I get downtown and see what's around I just know there's got to be a better place to be found Ooh, God help me The river runs red and I think I'm dyin' Well, I knew there'd come a day When my mind would say, "Hey, are you afraid?" Well, all I know is that I been down here tryin' Well, I'll bleed on through the night I suppose I'll be dead by the morning light Don't be surprised, if you mind, when you find me The river runs red and I think I'm dyin', oh yeah The river runs red and I think I'm dyin' Ooh, God help me The river runs red and I think I'm dyin', oh yeah The river runs red and I think I'm dyin'

Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on That I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young But my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man made I'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fake Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch But I know that's just me, 'cause nothing ever is enough When I was a child, I grew up by the River Lea There was something in the water, now that something's in me Oh, I can't go back But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips I can't go back to the river But it's in my roots, in my veins It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain Oh, It's in my roots, in my veins It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea I should probably tell you now before it's way too late That I never meant to hurt you or to lie straight to your face Consider this my apology, I know it's years in advance But I would rather say it now, in case I never get the chance No, I can't go back But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips I can't go back to the river But it's in my roots, in my veins It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain Oh, It's in my roots, in my veins It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain So, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea So, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea River Lea, River Lea River Lea, River Lea River Lea, River Lea River Lea, River Lea River Lea-ea-ea (the River Lea) River Lea-ea-ea River Lea-ea-ea (the River Lea) River Lea-ea-ea

I always cry, on the train back home Watchin' the world outside, I used to know Soon as I get there I have to go And the years go by, don't even know where I've been In the blink of an eye, could've all been a dream But I have to find somewhere To call my home Soon as I get there I have to go With two hands, meant to shape the land Just like a river does, just like a river does Another day breaks, and I have to go away Gone like a river does All alone like a river does And my landscape has changed, since last I was here Some people stay and some disappear But I'll always remember This part of me And I can't help but wonder How I'll ever leave With two hands, meant to shape the land Just like a river does, just like a river does Another day breaks, and I have to go away Gone like a river does All alone like a river does Woah, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo-ooh Two hands, meant to shape the land Just like a river does, just like a river does Another day breaks, and I have to go away Gone like a river does All alone like a river does So I bottle the sound of the wind in the trees Follow the salt in the air, down to the sea Just like a river does Just like a river does
