Bob Weir - Blue Mountain

Only a River

Well, I was born up in the mountains
Raised up in a desert town
And I never saw the Ocean
'Til I was close to your age now

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey-hey, hey, your rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey-hey, hey, only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right

I'm going back to San Angelo
The ground is hard and the count is dry
But I'm gonna get my fill somehow
Rivers of corn, and wheat and rye

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey-hey, hey, your rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey-hey, hey, only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey-hey, hey, your rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey-hey, hey, only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right

Now, red, red, river valley
Will she remember all the things we said?
And what's the chance that she'll remember
All those nights in the riverbed?

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey-hey, hey, your rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey-hey, hey, only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right

Only a river gonna make things right
Only a river gonna make things right
