guitar chords lyrics

The Beat Farmers

Album : Tales of the New West 1985 PlayStop

Mr. Jenson down the road
He's sixty-seven years old
His wife is dead and his son lives in Oregon

And the clock won't spare him nothing
The conclusion is forgone
And he keeps on watching the river roll along
You can look outside your window
At the hustling of the day
But nighttime falls and you know that it won't last long
One man eats beans for supper
One eats filet mignon
And you keep on watching the river roll along
Living like tomorrow is a universe way
As the sands run out with a dispassionate yawn
Never yielding to the wisdom

Living like tomorrow is a universe way
As the sands run out with a dispassionate yawn
Never yielding to the wisdom
That there ain't no Avalon
We just keep on watching the river roll along
Did you tell your wife you love her?
Did you tell your kids the same?
Did you hold them in your arms with all your brawn?
Cause you won't be here forever
And the next day they'll be gone
As you keep on watching the river roll along
