The River Won't Flow - Brooks Ashmanskas/Ty Taylor/Andrea Burns/Jessica Molaskey[00:00:00]

I left my home at fifteen[00:00:18]

I wore this very same coat[00:00:21]

My mama said son if you stay on this path[00:00:24]

You'll find a river full of money where the rich fish flow[00:00:27]

I said I'll catch me them fish[00:00:30]

And I've searched low and searched high[00:00:34]

Well I've seen more water than columbus had seen[00:00:36]

I found me this lake that was greener than green[00:00:39]

I said mama I know this is what you mean[00:00:41]

But when I bent for a sip the river ran dry[00:00:44]

The river won't flow for me no no no[00:00:48]

The river won't flow for me no no no no[00:00:53]

I live my life on the up and up[00:01:00]

And this is where I was meant to be[00:01:02]

But the river don't[00:01:05]

The river won't[00:01:06]

Flow for me[00:01:07]

I never had me no house[00:01:14]

I never had me no phone[00:01:17]

I never had much that I didn't have to go[00:01:19]

And fight for the right to call it my own[00:01:22]

I don't expect any help[00:01:26]

I don't expect nothing free[00:01:29]

It's not about being any righteous man[00:01:31]

It's not about god and the master plan[00:01:34]

It's not about doing the best I can[00:01:37]

No this corner was where I was born to be[00:01:40]

Cause the river won't flow for me no no no[00:01:43]

The river won't flow for me no no no no[00:01:49]

It's just one of the little lessons[00:01:55]

That I learned on my mama's knee[00:01:57]

The river don't[00:02:00]

The river won't[00:02:01]

Flow for me[00:02:02]

It's all luck[00:02:06]

It's just luck[00:02:08]

There's no way you can rig the game because[00:02:09]

It's all luck[00:02:12]

It's just luck[00:02:14]

The sinner and the saint could wind up the same cause[00:02:15]

It's all luck[00:02:18]

It's just luck[00:02:20]

That decides between the noose and the knife[00:02:21]

It's all luck[00:02:23]

It's just luck[00:02:25]

When you're begging to switch[00:02:26]

With some rich son of a bitch[00:02:28]

Who ain't never done nothing to deserve that life[00:02:29]

It seems so easy to run[00:02:33]

Until there's nowhere to go[00:02:36]

You never get much for the dues you pay[00:02:38]

You never go far on the easy way[00:02:41]

There isn't much choice[00:02:44]

But to kneel and pray[00:02:46]

For the river the river the river[00:02:47]

To flow[00:02:49]

Flow flow flow flow[00:02:51]

Flow flow[00:02:58]

The river's got to flow[00:03:00]

The river's got to flow[00:03:03]

River river river river[00:03:06]

Flow[00:03:11]

But the river won't flow for you no no no[00:03:14]

The river won't flow for you no no no no[00:03:18]

You gotta live how you gotta live[00:03:26]

You gotta do what you gotta do[00:03:28]

Cause the river don't[00:03:31]

The river won't[00:03:32]

The river can't[00:03:33]

The river ain't never ever gonna flow for you[00:03:34]

Never gonna flow for you[00:03:39]

Never gonna flow for you[00:03:41]

Never gonna flow for you[00:03:44]
