That's Why the River Runs - Jameson Rodgers

This town ain’t ten feet wide

And population 2−0-5

Just a place that the river goes by

And it don’t slow down

It gets on out

Mud mixed in with sin

From

Don’t need no more from this town

It just can’t win

It all makes sense

That’s why the river runs yeah

That’s why the river runs

I can’t blame that water for leaving

If I rolled in here I wouldn’t stick around either

That’s why the river runs yeah

This town ain’t nothin' but

Bunch of worn out same ole stuff

A dried up whiskey cup

And a broken heart hiding in the dark

It creeps up from behind

Like a cotton mouth showing wide

You can bet it’s gonna bite

If you get too close, you better go

That’s why the river runs yeah

That’s why the river runs

I can’t blame that water for leaving

If I rolled in here I wouldn’t stick around either

That’s why the river runs yeah

He knows better than to stop by now

So it never has to worry about getting back out

That’s why the river runs

That’s why the river runs

I can’t blame that water for leaving

If I rolled in here I wouldn’t stick around either

That’s why the river runs yeah

That’s why the river runs

That’s why the river runs
