Flowin' river, now a still lake Makes you shiver when you Think of what they take Where's your future When you've lost today Don't wash your tears away Seek the vision, and see the gift Show the children there's, something left When they grow older they'll, learn to say Don't wash your tears away Chorus: Can't stop the whiskey can't stop the wine Can't stop a good friend from dying Don't know the answer But I've gotta keep trying Can't stop a good friend from dying Gather moments that add up our life Sometimes regrets that cut like a knife Start seeing the damage Only years after we're through Don't let it take a hold of you
