The roads are closed Do you know where you should be? When the lights are dim Are you gonna come cryin' to me? 'Cause you're sitting there with your legs crossed Lookin' so carefree Do you think you can run away From your so-called misery? 'Cause you know, the tide ain't rollin' in for you The tide ain't rollin' in for me Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim? Because I'll take you down to the river Yes, I'll take you down to the river In the end, I'll take you down to the river But you're goin' in, you're goin' in Now the choice is yours Are you in or are you gonna back out? Well this is your life baby Are you gonna take a look around? 'Cause you seem to think that all Your chances will chase you down I'm telling you to open up your eyes And take those feet off the ground 'Cause you know the tide ain't rollin' in for you The tide ain't rollin' in for me Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim? Because I'll take you down to the river Yes, I'll take you down to the river Don't you know, I'll take you down to the river But you're goin' in, you're goin' in Now the roads are closed Do you know where you should be? Now the lights are dim Are you gonna come cryin' to me? 'Cause you know the tide ain't rollin' in for you The tide ain't rollin' in for me Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim? Because I'll take you down to the river Yes, I'll take you down to the river In the end, I'll take you down to the river 'Cause you're goin' in, you're goin' in
