|
You're goin' down the river |
|
You're a little boy on a little boat |
|
And the white sheets are blowing |
|
They're blowing like all get out |
|
No one can stop you now |
|
No one can muss your hair |
|
No one can criticize |
|
No one can tell you lies |
|
You can do whatever you want |
|
You can say whatever you like |
|
You can wear whatever you want |
|
Your shirt is plaid, your pants are striped |
|
This ain't no dying of the light |
|
This ain't no final boarding call |
|
This ain't no swan song |
|
This is the promise of all |
|
'Cause you're going down the river of life |
|
You're a little boy on a little raft |
|
And the white sheets are streaming back |
|
There's figures on the river bank |
|
They're all apologizing |
|
But you don't have to worry now |
|
You don't have to listen to them |
|
You can say whatever you want |
|
You can be whoever you like |
|
You're free now you're free now |
|
You can do whatever you like |
|
Your shirt is plaid, your pants are striped |
|
This ain't no dying of the light... |
|
The river's going faster |
|
Hey Huck, hold onto your hat |
|
You'd better look out now |
|
No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that |
|
The flying fish are flying up |
|
Flying up for you to see |
|
There's bear on the riverbank |
|
Fishing for those flying fish |
|
Wishing for those flying fish |
|
Don't you love those flying fish? |
|
You're free now you're free now |
|
You can say whatever you like |
|
This ain't no dying of the light |
|
This ain't no final boarding call |
|
This ain't no swan song |
|
This is the promise of all |
|
'Cause you're going down the river of life |
|
Goodbye goodbye goodbye |
