Jerry Riopelle River On the Run lyrics

One girl's a street walker but her feet are so soft;
one girl's a trick rider when she wants to get off;
one girl is an actress with the sweetest technique;
one girl is a fugitive and she don't miss a beat.

Ooo wee, ooo wee, I'm comin' into my own,
good golly, Miss Holly, girl, you didn't die alone.
Oh, nothin' you can do or say that hasn't been done;
nothin' lasts forever 'cept the river on the run.

Run, river, run; run just like a circle 'round the sun;
roll, ocean, roll; roll me to the island, I wanna go.

One guy is a joker but he's cryin' all the time;
one guy's a rock and roller, he's a real good friend of mine;
one guy is a cowboy and the man don't have a fear;
one guy's a magician, you can't make him disappear.

Ooo wee, ooo wee, I'm comin' into my own,
good golly, Miss Holly, girl, you didn't die alone.
Oh, nothin' you can do or say that hasn't been done;
nothin' lasts forever 'cept the river on the run.


Run, river, run; run just like a circle 'round the sun;
roll, ocean, roll; roll me to the island, I wanna go.

One life is a picture and it's posin' all the time,
one life is a fixture and I'm so proud that it ain't mine;
one life is a question to the answers that you know;
One life is a river; let it ebb and let it flow.

Ooo wee, ooo wee, I'm comin' into my own,
good golly, Miss Holly, girl, you didn't die alone.
Oh, nothin' you can do or say that hasn't been done;
nothin' lasts forever,
said nothin' lasts forever, 'cept

* Ooo wee, ooo wee, I'm comin' into my own,
good golly, Miss Holly, girl, you didn't die alone.
Oh, nothin' you can do or say that hasn't been done;
nothin' lasts forever, 'cept the river on the run.
