Walkin' down by the river
 [bad word] #39; through my knees
River, oh river moves so free
Oh, mighty river endlessly

Oh, mighty river
I would love to be like you
Oh, lonely river
Has not got the time to say

I 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 breathe

You can only see about a block or two
In L. A. that's the [bad word] 
I'm lookin' for some country life
Some kickin' room no more city life, I want the river

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' on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on river

It breaks my heart to see the city
I wonder why it ain't pretty
Oh, I want to cry, want to cry
 [bad word] on, you've got to do it, do it, do it
You got [bad word] away, you got [bad word] away
You got to do it, do it, do it
You got [bad word] away, you got [bad word] away

You got to do it, do it, do it
You got [bad word] away, you got [bad word] away
You got to do it, do it, do it
You got [bad word] away, you got [bad word] away
You got to do it, do it, do it
