lyrics

Big River
©Jerry Axson

Big river running through my town,
Big river gonna’ roll on down,
to the bottom of the big blue sea...
far away from you and me...
Gonna’ save every tear I cry,
and when you ask me why -
I can show you the living proof...
I’m still in love with you...

And it doesn’t matter if I leave this place...
Big river runs no mans race...
all the begging in the world won’t change...
Big river wears no mans’ chains...

Big river running through my eyes,
dark river but it can’t disguise,
broken lines all around my face...
broken promises can leave that trace...
Keep waiting for the well to dry,
hear them whisper but I know I tried -
to cup the water up to my mouth...
couldn’t help it when it all ran out...
