The Beach Boys River Song lyrics

Walking down by the river
Water running through my knees
River, river moves so free
Oh, mighty river endlessly

Ooh, mighty river
I would love to be like you
Ooh, lonely river
Has not got the time to say

I was born into the city life
It's all that I've ever known
You know it's rough getting 'round this place
So crowded, I can hardly breathe

You can only see about a block or two
In L.A. that's the truth
Looking for some country life
Some kicking room, no more city life
I want the river

Rolling, rolling, rolling on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)
Roll, rolling, rolling, rolling on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)


Roll, rolling, rolling, rolling on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)
Roll, rolling, rolling, rolling on river
(I got to get away, I got to get away, I got to get away)
Roll, rolling, rolling, rolling on

It breaks my heart to see the city
I wonder why it ain't pretty
Oh, I wanna cry, wanna cry

Come on, you've got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run away
You got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run away

You got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run away
You got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run away
You got to do it, do it, do it
You got to run away, you got to run away
