Thought i saw my savior Sitting on the lawn But then his daddy shot him and he said whats goin on He taught me how to slow dance He taught me how to love And when he died there went the one I dreamed of Well I left home bout a year ago I didn't want anyone else to know All things come to a mouth at the end The mississippi river with never bend So I'll run - run like a river - run like a river to the sea I didn't want to stay there I didn't want to hide I wanted to swim the river buts it's too wide All the dreams forgotten All the hopes removed Well there went Marvin with my lonely heart groove Well i left home bout a week ago I didn't want anyone else to know All things come to a mouth at the end The mississippi river with never bend So I'll run - run like a river - run like a river to the sea Solo Well i left home bout a day ago I didn't want anyone else to know All things come to a rock at the end The Pontchatoula river with never bend So I'll run - run like a river - run like a river to the sea
