Where the river flows, where the river flows. I was walkin' the main road, comin' into town, I came upon a stranger, lying on the ground. He said "i been in prison, and now i'm on the run, I'm feelin' kinda weary, gotta make it home." Chorus: Where the river flows, where the water goes, I'll be over there, waitin' over there, where the river flows. Well i didn't have a lot to give, but i gave him what i could, Listened while he talked about the bad times and the good. And early in the mornin', i took an old man home, Left him by the river, left him all alone. Chorus Chorus Chorus
