chris knight - the river's own lyrics

the [d]lines on my [g]father’s [d]face
ran deep as creek beds [a]on our [d]place
and the river ran right [g]through his [d]soul
but i know at times it [a]tooks its [d]toll
when the [g]crops would flood we lived on fish
but [d]never did my [a]father [d]wish
to leave the land his [g]life flowed [d]from
the river and my [a]dad were [d]one
and [bm]i’m one of the river’s [g]own
it’s [a]current down inside me is [bm]strong[g]
and it’s [d]up to me to [a]carry [bm]on
’cause [g]i’m [a]one of the river’s [d]own
as a kid i watched the [g]river [d]flow
yeah, i admired the way it [a]rocked and [d]rolled
dad was proud i was a [g]river [d]rat
but that’s where our common ground [a]ended [d]at
’cause i [g] seen those city lights downstream
and they [d]drew me in when i was [a]seven[d]teen
i went everywhere that [g]river [d]runs
yeah, me and that river [a]we were [d]one
and [bm]i’m one of the river’s [g]own
it’s [a]current down inside me is [bm]strong[g]
and it’s [d]up to me to [a]carry [bm]on
’cause [g]i’m [a]one of the river’s [d]own
two years ago dad [g]p-ssed [d]away
and i’ll never forget that [a]mournful [d]day
then a lawyer read me [g]out his [d]will
it said “son, it’s time for [a]you to be [d]still”
then a [g]week ago a government man
tried to [d]pay me off to [a]flood our [d]land
and i did just what my [g]dad would’ve [d]done
’cause me and that river [a]we are [d]one
and [bm]i’m one of the river’s [g]own
it’s [a]current down inside me is [bm]strong[g]
and it’s [d]up to me to [a]carry [bm]on
’cause [g]i’m [a]one of the river’s [d]own
