The River Gives Lyrics by Bob Malone

Good People (artist: Bob Malone)

2021

[VERSE1]
I live down by the river
It gives me life
I put down roots here
Two kids and I wife
Every day is a blessing
Don’t you think I know?
Sooner or later
Riverbank gonna overflow
[Chorus]
The river gives
The river takes away
You can’t stop the water’s rise
You can only pray
The river gives
The river takes away
Down here by the river
We live day to day
[VERSE 2]
Now the water has swept away
Everything I’ve known
I stand on a ruin
That was once my homе
Nothing but nothing
Far as my eye can see
I can’t help but wondеr
What will become of me
[Chorus]
The river gives
The river takes away
You can’t stop the water’s rise
You can only pray
The river gives
The river takes away
Down here by the river
We live day to day
{BRIDGE]
But when the flood goes down
We’ll still be around
‘Cause it ain’t just houses
That make this a town
Yeah we’ll be back again
And we won’t be alone
‘Cause this is our home
This is our home…
[Chorus]
The river gives
The river takes away
You can’t stop the water’s rise
You can only pray
The river gives
The river takes away
Down here by the river
We live day to day
Down here by the river
We live day to day
