This River Is Wild

Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground I heard a story from the man in red He said, the leaves are fallin' down Such a beautiful sound Son, I think you'd better go ahead But you always hold your head up high Cause it's a long, long, long way down This town was meant for passing through Boy, it ain't nothin' new Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round But it's a long, long, long way down You better run for the hills Before they burn Listen to the sound of the world Don't watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current Lets you go Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been tryin' hard to do what's right But you know I could stay here All night And watch the clouds fall from the sky This river is wild This river is wild Run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world Don't watch it turn I shake a little Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk I shake a little Sometimes I hate the line I walk I just wanna to show you what I know Catch you when the current Lets you go Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been trying hard to do what's right But you know I could stay here All night And watch the clouds fall from the sky Because this river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild Now Adam's taking bombs, and he's stuck on his mom Because that bitch keeps tryin' to make him pray He's with the hippie in the park, combing over the dark Just tryin' to get some of that little-girl play You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world Don't watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current Lets you go Or should I get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been tryin' hard to do what's right But you know I could stay here All night And watch the clouds fall from the sky This pain is hell in me tonight Because this river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild This river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild And cars are everywhere Raisin' dust at the fairground I don't think I ever seen so many headlights But there's somethin' pullin' me The circus and the crew Well, they're just passin' through Makin' sure the merry still goes 'round But it's a long, long, long way down --- This River Is Wild - The Killers
