Music in the Water
Momma said, "Wash your hands
Go and fix your hair
The South is watching carefully
A long dress you will wear"
I said, "Momma
Dress won't save me
God is who I trust"
Winds of change a blowing
Stirring up the dust
Oh the wanderlust
A simple house in Alabama
Held a quiet daughter
Hear the river running
There's music in the water
My Dad said "You stay close
I know what is best
Save up all your money
Settle down and make a nest"
I said "Dad, God is calling
To the city, I will go
I don't have the answers yet
But God is in control"
It's time for me to go
A simple house in Alabama
Held a quiet daughter
Hear the river running
There's music in the water
Go to school, go to church
Life was on repeat
Everyone seemed happy
But that river's running free
Go to school, go to church
Life was on repeat
Everyone seemed happy
But that river's running free
A simple house in Alabama
Held a quiet daughter
Hear the river running
There's music in the water
A simple house in Alabama
Held a quiet daughter
Hear the river running
There's music in the water
Go and fix your hair
The South is watching carefully
A long dress you will wear"
I said, "Momma
Dress won't save me
God is who I trust"
Winds of change a blowing
Stirring up the dust
Oh the wanderlust
A simple house in Alabama
Held a quiet daughter
Hear the river running
There's music in the water
My Dad said "You stay close
I know what is best
Save up all your money
Settle down and make a nest"
I said "Dad, God is calling
To the city, I will go
I don't have the answers yet
But God is in control"
It's time for me to go
A simple house in Alabama
Held a quiet daughter
Hear the river running
There's music in the water
Go to school, go to church
Life was on repeat
Everyone seemed happy
But that river's running free
Go to school, go to church
Life was on repeat
Everyone seemed happy
But that river's running free
A simple house in Alabama
Held a quiet daughter
Hear the river running
There's music in the water
A simple house in Alabama
Held a quiet daughter
Hear the river running
There's music in the water
