Walkin' down by the river
Water runnin' through my knees
River, oh river moves so free
Oh, mighty river endlesslyOh, mighty river
I would love to be like you
Oh, lonely river
Has not got the time to sayI was born into the city life
It's all that I've ever known
You know it's rough gettin' round this place
So crowded I can hardly breatheYou can only see about a block or two
In L. A. that's the truth
I'm lookin' for some country life
Some kickin' room no more city life, I want the riverRollin', rollin', rollin' on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)Rollin', rollin', rollin' on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on riverIt breaks my heart to see the city
I wonder why it ain't pretty
Oh, I want to cry, want to cryCome on, you've got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run away
You got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run awayYou got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run away
You got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run away
You got to do it, do it, do it
