[00:04.98]
[00:11.13]
[00:12.70]4 a.m. comes awful early
[00:16.18]And I was dead on my feet
[00:19.14]But if you're gonna catch the biggest fish
[00:22.59]You gotta lose a little sleep
[00:26.01]I packed my gear and a couple beers
[00:29.61]And I headed for my favorite spot
[00:32.45]But I cursed my luck
[00:34.02]When I saw his truck
[00:36.11]Right where I pulled off
[00:39.35]Was hopin' to have the river to myself that day
[00:43.92]
[00:44.73]'Cause the river don't talk
[00:48.17]The river don't care
[00:51.48]Where you've been
[00:53.13]What you've done
[00:54.64]Or why it is you're standin' there
[00:57.80]It just rolls on by
[01:00.57]Whisperin' to your soul
[01:04.05]It's gonna be alright
[01:07.86]The river just knows
[01:13.25]
[01:14.18]The way the sun bounced off the water
[01:17.90]I could hardly make him out
[01:21.06]But I could see he had a fish on
[01:24.62]A big ol' rainbow trout
[01:27.90]The fight went on forever
[01:30.78]And as they headed down my way
[01:33.48]I saw his military haircut
[01:37.19]And the new scars on his face
[01:40.65]Right then I knew
[01:42.27]What brought him to this place
[01:45.75]
[01:46.21]You know the river don't talk
[01:49.81]The river don't care
[01:53.17]Where you've been
[01:54.77]What you've done
[01:56.26]Or why it is you're standin' there
[01:59.38]It just rolls on by
[02:02.05]Whisperin' to your soul
[02:05.70]It's gonna be alright
[02:09.32]The river just knows
[02:12.05]
[02:12.60]He held the fish down in the water
[02:16.13]And he coaxed it back to life
[02:19.40]He said 'I'll help you get your wind back
[02:22.96]'Cause you helped me get mine'
[02:26.05]And all I could think to say was 'Welcome home'
[02:32.00]But I think that river said it best on its own
[02:40.82]
[02:41.42]'Cause the river don't talk
[02:44.56]You know the river don't care
[02:48.22]Where you've been
[02:49.86]What you've done
[02:51.45]Or why it is you're standin' there
[02:54.52]It just rolls on by
[02:57.26]Whisperin' to your soul
[03:00.83]It's gonna be alright
[03:04.43]The river just knows
[03:07.34]It's gonna be alright
[03:14.12]The river just knows
[03:23.70]
[03:24.82]Just knows...
