The River Just Knows Lyrics & Tabs by Rodney Atkins
The River Just Knows
guitar chords lyrics
4 a.m. comes awful early, and I was dead on my feet
But if you gonna catch the biggest fish
You gotta lose a little sleep
Well, I pack my gear and a couple beers
I headed for my favorite spot
Well, I curse my luck when I saw his truck right where I pulled off
Was hoping to have the river to myself that day
Cause the river dont talk, the river dont care
Where youve been, what youve done
Why it is your standin there
It just rolls on by whisperin to your soul
Its gonna be alright, the river just knows
The way the sun bounced off the water
I could hardly make him out
But I could see he had a fish on
A big ole rainbow trout
The fight went on forever
And as they headed down my way, I saw his
military hair cut and the new scars on his face
Right then I knew what brought him to this place
You know the river dont talk, the river dont care
Where youve been, what youve done
Dont know why it is your standin there
It just rolls on by whisperin to your soul
Its gonna be alright, the river just knows
He held that fish down in the water
And he coaxed it to back to life
He said I'll help you get your wind back
Cause you helped me get mine
And all I could think to say was Welcome home
But I think that river said it best on its own
Cause the river dont talk, you know the river dont care
Where youve been, whats youve done
Why it is your standin there
It just rolls on by whisperin to your soul
Its gonna be alright, the river just knows
Its gonna be alright, the river just knows
It just knows...
