verse 1
Five years old, skippin? rocks across that Cypress Creek
Mama said, ?Don?t you forget, you got church shoes on your feet?
Daddy smoked them Salems up and wore them sideburns down
My world was only as big as that little blink-and-you-miss-it town
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
Driftin? on to where we?re goin?, hangin? on to what?s left behind
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
verse 2
Muscle car and a leather jacket, crusin? the main street drag
Cool as a can of Copenhagen and a six pack in a bag
We were all about them college girls when they came home on break
Thought those days would last forever and growin? up would wait
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
Driftin? on to where we?re goin?, hangin? on to what?s left behind
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
Solo
verse 3
Now daddy?s in his easy chair, mama?s hairs turned grey
She laughs and says it?s all because of my young and wilder days
I found a girl that makes me smile, I?ll never let her go
Growin? old don?t scare me none, I believe in streets of gold
Just gonna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
Driftin? on to where we?re goin?, hangin? on to what?s left behind
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
Yeah we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
Oh we ride, ride, ride that river of time
