The River Just Knows Lyrics


4 a.m. comes awful early, and I was dead on my feet
But if you gonna catch the biggest fish
You gotta lose a little sleep
Well, I pack my gear and a couple beers
I headed for my favorite spot
Well, I curse my luck when I saw his truck right where I pulled off
Was hoping to have the river to myself that dayCause the river dont talk, the river dont care
Where youve been, what youve done
Why it is your standin there
It just rolls on by whisperin to your soul
Its gonna be alright, the river just knowsThe way the sun bounced off the water
I could hardly make him out
But I could see he had a fish on
A big ole rainbow trout
The fight went on forever
And as they headed down my way, I saw his
military hair cut and the new scars on his face
Right then I knew what brought him to this placeYou know the river dont talk, the river dont care

Where youve been, what youve done
Dont know why it is your standin there
It just rolls on by whisperin to your soul
Its gonna be alright, the river just knowsHe held that fish down in the water
And he coaxed it to back to life
He said I'll help you get your wind back
Cause you helped me get mine
And all I could think to say was Welcome home
But I think that river said it best on its ownCause the river dont talk, you know the river dont care
Where youve been, whats youve done
Why it is your standin there
It just rolls on by whisperin to your soul
Its gonna be alright, the river just knows
Its gonna be alright, the river just knows
It just knows...

Rodney Atkins, born March 28, 1969 in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an American country singer. He was an adopted child. As an infant at the Holston Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville, Tennessee, he was so sick that two couples who had taken him home returned him just a few days later. A third couple from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, adopted him as well and, even though his ailments worsened, refused to give him up. His adoptive mother had been raised in a coal mining family near a tannery camp, and his dad survived an upbringing marked by poverty and episodes of abuse. Rodney is married and has a 4-year-old son named Elijah, who is featured in the video for Rodney's song "Watching You". While his career had a bit of a slow start, he subsequently achieved success with his first #1 hit (If You're Going Through Hell) and the fast climbing follow-up single (Watching You).

Songfacts.com reports that he lead-off single from Rodney Atkins' fourth album, titled Take A Back Road, finds the singer looking to leave the stress of the city. It was released on April 26, 2011.
