On a long a dusty highway, bakin' 'neath that Western sun All my thoughts they dance like gypsies, to the engines muffled hum As I drive towards new adventures, the self doubt inside me springs But its tempered by the sweet words, that my mother used to sing Like a river runs wild, like a lark flyin' free Like a tall Georgia pine, I'm okay being me Don't you worry 'bout them, don't you worry 'bout me Never fear what they say, only fear what you think Never fear what they say, only fear what you think As I bust those city limits, my heart pounds inside of me But I open that guitar case, and I fill the streets with beats Some pass by and cast shadows, others smile joyfully Some with happy feet start dancing', as they sing along with me Like a river runs wild, like a lark flyin' free Like a tall Georgia pine, I'm okay being me Don't you worry 'bout them, don't you worry 'bout me Never fear what they say, only fear what you think Never fear what they say, only fear what you think Like a river runs wild, like a lark flyin' free Like a tall Georgia pine, I'm okay being me Don't you worry 'bout them, don't you worry 'bout me Never fear what they say, only fear what you think Never fear what they say, only fear what you think
