Don Williams Standing Knee Deep In A River lyrics

Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand
With a left over finger or two
I took them for granted, let them all slip away
Now where they are I wish I knew

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst

Sometimes I remember the good people I've known
Some I've forgotten I suppose
One or two still linger
Oh, I wonder now why I ever let them go?

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn
Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst

So the sidewalk is crowded, the city goes by
I just rushed through another day
And a world full of strangers turn their eyes to me
But I just look the other way

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst

Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst
