Even the River Runs

Joel Crouse


Friday night, dash light
Lovers on the Levy Road
Eighteen high beams, watching that Missouri flow
I don't know what your plans are but, baby, let's make some
We can't hang around this place forever, no

'Cause even the river runs around the bend
Ain't coming back 'til I can't say when
Hitching a ride like a couple of friends
Turning the page, riding the wave
Yeah, we gotta run like an old Mustang
Nothing but you and a tank of high octane
Hearing that engine hum
Yeah, we gotta run

Been watching that water pass by here all my life
Baby, when you kissed me, it finally hit me tonight
Just what that old man's always been saying
Ever since I was young
Can't hang around this place forever, no

'Cause even the river runs around the bend
Ain't coming back 'til I can't say when
Hitching a ride like a couple of friends
Turning the page, riding the wave
Yeah, we gotta run like an old Mustang
Nothing but you and a tank of high octane
Hearing that engine hum
Yeah, we gotta run

Friday night, dash light
