V1
Don’t look in my eyes and please don’t be surprised when I go
‘Cause I’ve been watching you smile for a while now… thought you should know
And I’ve been singing to you for a good while, now it’s time that I go.
V2
There’s people born naturally good… and there’s some, you just don’t know
They say “You can’t lie to Jesus, and your drinkin’ has just got to go.”
Whoa, they say that “You can’t lie to Jesus, and your drinkin’ has just got to go.”
Chorus
You know the river only flows one direction,
While it’s a fight upstream for your heart and your affection
Oh and I can’t write the words to make it better
But the fear that comes from losing makes it harder not to let her slide away
Let her slide away
Let her slide away
Let her slide away
V3
So come to me now while the hours are still left in the day
‘Cause our time goes by quickly and who knows when it goes away
Whoa you know our time goes by quickly and who knows when it goes away
Chorus
You know the river only flows in one direction,
While it’s a fight upstream for your heart and your affection
Oh and I can’t write the words to make it better
But the fear that comes from losing makes it harder not to let her slide away
Let her slide away
Let her slide away
Let her slide away
Bridge
I hold on to this bottle like a friend that it is to me now
“Cause we’ve all got our secrets and our weaknesses can be overcome
Hmm mmm, now, we’ve all got our secrets and our weaknesses can be overcome
Chorus
You know the river only flows in one direction,
While it’s a fight upstream for your heart and your affection
Oh and I can’t write the words to make it better
But the fear that comes from losing makes it harder not to let her slide away
Let her slide away
Let her slide away
Let her slide away
