River you heard my first cry as a baby 
And like my mom you sang me lullabies
You knew my fishing pole 
When I was eight years old 
And river you never told me lies
River I can see you from my window 
Your muddy water makes me feel alone
River you keep flowing 
Like you know just where you're going
But river will you ever take me home

River I'm not proud of what I've done 
Somehow my fishing pole became a gun
Through these prison bars I see 
That you're still running free
But river I've got no place to run
River I can see you from my window 
Your muddy water makes me feel alone
River you keep flowing 
Like you know just where you're going
But river will you ever take me home
River I can see you
