The River

Thank you, 1BBSHIRLEE. I'd forgotten about that song. I haven't heard it in too many years. Thank you for reminding me of its beauty and its hope, for I miss my true love and I'm praying for a bridge.

This so reminds me of the song--"The River and The Highway" by Pam Tillis--

(gerry house/don schlitz)

"She follows the path of least resistance
She doesn’t care to see the mountain top
She twists and turns with no regard to distance
She never comes to a stop

And she rolls, she’s a river
Where she goes, time will tell
Heaven knows, he can’t go with her
And she rolls, all by herself
All by herself

He’s headed for a single destination
He doesn’t care what’s standing in his path
He’s a line between two points of separation
He ends just where it says to on the map

And he rolls, he’s a highway
Where he goes, time will tell
Heaven knows, she can’t go with him
And he rolls, all by himself
All by himself

And every now and then, he offers her a shoulder
And every now and then, she overflows
And every now and then, a bridge crosses over
It’s a moment that every lover knows

And she rolls (and he rolls)
She’s a river (he’s a highway)
Where she goes (where he goes)
Time will tell (time will tell)
Heaven knows she can’t go with him (he can’t go with her)
And she rolls all by herself
And he rolls all by himself
Fare thee well"

Also reminds me of "The Mirror"
Totally LOVE both of these songs :-)
Your lyrics need some kick-ass music to go with them, Brian :-)
This would be an AWESOME song :-)

When I was a young man I had two close friends. We were going to be the next great poet band like The Doors. Of course I was going to be the next Jim Morrison. We were dropping lot's of acid to expand our minds. Fear took Kevin as he thought I was going to far....ya right me go to far....lol .......and hard drugs took Michael. I had written tons of poems and songs while under the influence and Kevin who took off took them with him. I would love to have them back. I haven't written much but did have a few published in the early 80s. Wish I had found someone else to partner with as I always wanted to be a Rock Star. LOL. Now I'm a middle aged balding fat guy with four kids who just acts like a Rock Star. Last night we went to the grocery store and I walked the isles belting out Let's Ride and everyone I past lite up with big smiles. I don't lack confidence and I can sing like a mofo. Kid Rock is my fav to sing. I loved to love songs to the BJ Dealers in Vegas and watch em as they light up ear to ear. Usually when I would start singing they would dump their tray. I had to be pretty drunk though.
