River Don’t Rise Lyrics by David Michael George

1,000 Yard Stare

2018

Well if the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
I’ll keep me a home
Build me a life
I put away my tramp ways and lies
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
The banks are flooding about going insane
The first time I plant my feet I’m washed away
The scarcest fruit is always sweeter so they Same
You know this dogs about to hunt
You better cut me off my chain
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
I’ll keep me a home
Build me a life
I put away my tramp ways and lies
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
Get it
These eyes of doubt don’t they don’t feel like home
Iris’s are icy and they’re cutting to the bone
This is where I’m normally gonna cut out and run
I’m screaming friends, family, home and I’m sticking to my guns
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
I’ll keep me a home
Build me a life
I put away my tramp ways and lies
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t
Let me rise babe
Don’t wash me away
Let me rise
Need a place I can call my home
No matter how far
How long gone
I nearly let that road just steal my soul
I need to get back home
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
I’ll keep me a home
Build me a life
I put away my tramp ways and lies
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t Rise
If the lords willing and the river Don’t rise
Don’t you get back on me
I go down to the morning and they sail me to the seas
Don’t rise
I’m gonna feel your soul
You keep on talking about those days of old
