Drink The River Songtext
von Gabe Lee

If I were I a fisherman of hopes and dreams
I′d buy me a boat, and take it out to sea
Cuttin' waves, dodging storms
Casting nets down to the ocean floor

Worst case we go hungry and blame our luck
Have a drink act like we don′t care so much
But to keep on swimmin, castaway
Hooked on your own line from just the other day


And I can't drink the river to dry the land
Bury the ocean beneath the sand
But I can love you until the tide pulls me under by and by

I went searching for a pot of gold
Dad always said I had a knack for diggin' holes
If faith were a shovel to any man of means
Why am I always standing, the dirt up to my knees?

To Carolina swift I′ll drive
Edge of the road sharp as a knife
Hundred miles an hour I′m comin' home to you
Hopin′ to make up for all the grief I put you through


And I can't drink the river to dry the land
Or bury the ocean beneath the sand
But I can love you until the tide pulls me under by and by
