Hey Rivers Songtext
von Drew Holcomb

One, two
One, two, three

Drove across the Natchez bridge today
You opened up the door
Had to be wondering "What′s this handle for?"
You gave us both a heart attack
Like you do 'most every day
Lord knows we wouldn′t have it any other way

Hey Rivers, oh Rivers
You're a joy tornado Rivers
Just like your name you're making your way back home


You saw a squirrel
You thought it was a monkey
Big old smile said that you were funny
Every day′s a party
When you live like an ice cream cake
In a candy store with a criminal′s grin
Chocolate running down your chin again
Skipping stones at sunset down at Nickajack Lake

Hey Rivers, oh Rivers
You're a joy tornado Rivers
Just like your name you′re making your way back home
Hey Rivers, oh Rivers
Moving like all those Tennessee rivers
Going to the ocean making their way back home

Why should you walk when you can run?
Moving at a slow pace isn't any fun
To take the time to say hello
Making new friends wherever you go

Hey Rivers, oh Rivers
You′re a joy tornado Rivers
Just like your name you're making your way back home
Hey Rivers, oh Rivers
Moving like all those Tennessee rivers
Going to the ocean making their way back home

Just like a road trip making your way back home
Just like your name you′re making your way back home
