Mark Erelli - The river always wins

^DAt the diner downtown old timers sit a^Amround ^DTalk about the flood of ‘4^Am2 How they ^Dwatched from higher ground, as the water took it ^Amdown Like a ^Cverse from the ^Gbible come ^Dtrue After losing everything, you could hear the hammers ^Amring As they ^Dbuilt it back up a^Amgain The ^Dmill wheels turned, they kneeled in ^Amchurch ^CWashed of ^Gall their ^Dsins But the ^Criver ^Galwa^Dys wins

^DI come down from the mountain Like ^Gjudgment from on ^Chigh^G Going ^Dhome to the ocean And I ^Fdon’t give a damn About the ^Gdreams of man And I won’t be de^Dnied

^DI’ve seen boys with fishing poles and born again ^Amsouls ^DLovers with their hearts ab^Amlaze I’ve ^Dalways been there, for the lonely in de^Amspair I took a ^Cfew in my ^Gdark em^Dbrace I’ve seen the mills pull out and the jobs go ^Amsouth It ain’t ^Dever been the same way ^Amsince For every ^Dthing they try to change, I will always re^Ammain I’ll be ^Cdamned but I ^Gwon’t give ^Din ‘Cause the ^Criver ^Galwa^Dys wins

^DI come down from the mountain Like ^Gjudgment from on ^Chigh^G Going ^Dhome to the ocean And I ^Fdon’t give a damn About the ^Gdreams of man And I won’t be de^Dnied

^DI come down from the mountain Like ^Gjudgment from on ^Chigh^G Going ^Dhome to the ocean And I ^Fdon’t give a damn About the ^Gdreams of man And I won’t be de^Dnied
