This Side of the River Songtext
von Joe Nichols

Sittin′ here watchin' that red and white barber go up and down
Man ′bout to go, I know I set a hook any second now
Got the prettiest thing you ever did see, toes in the dirt
Every time I looked at her
It feels like heaven on earth

On this side of the river
While the sun above me shines
Make the most of every moment
Of every little bit of peace I find
When it comes to crossin' over
Lord, let me take my time
'Cause right now, this side of the river
Is suitin′ me just fine


Wasn′t long ago I was a wonderin' soul I didn′t give a damn
Moments like these, I can't help but think I′m a lucky man
Right now I gotta say I wouldn't take them wings even if I could
Even though I probably should
But right now life′s too good

On this side of the river
While the sun above me shines
Make the most of every moment
Of every little bit of peace I find
When it comes to crossin' over
Lord, let me take my time
'Cause right now, this side of the river
Is suitin′ me just fine

On this side of the river
While the sun above me shines
Make the most of every moment
Of every little bit of peace I find
When it comes to crossin′ over
Lord, let me take my time
'Cause right now, this side of the river
Is suitin′ me just fine
Is suitin' me just fine
