“The River”
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin’ as it flows
And a dreamer’s just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what’s behind you
And never knowing what’s in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores…and
I will sail my vessel
‘Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I’ll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
‘Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
‘Til what we put off ’til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don’t you sit upon the shoreline
And say you’re satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide…yes
I will sail my vessel
‘Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I’ll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
‘Til the river runs dry
There’s bound to be rough waters
And I know I’ll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all…yes
I will sail my vessel
‘Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I’ll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
‘Til the river runs dry
Yes, I will sail my vessel
‘Til the river runs dry
‘Til the river runs dry

Writer(s): Garth Brooks, Victoria Shaw
This song was released in April 1992 as the fifth and final single from the album. It became his ninth number-one hit on the Billboard country charts in late 1992.
According to Garth Brooks, James Taylor—his childhood hero—was an inspiration for writing “The River”. Victoria Shaw recalled, “We were blank, so blank. And so finally, he said, ‘You know what? Let’s just take a break. What are you listening to on the stereo?’ And I had just bought this new James Taylor CD, so I put it on and were just listening to it, and it got us in a mood.”
Garth Brooks wrote about this song in the liner notes of his album “The Hits”, “It is a song of inspiration… a song that I will be proud of a hundred years from now. Victoria Shaw is a wonderful writer and a wonderful friend. And this is what happens when two dreamers get together and write from the heart.”
This track is also included on three albums that have sold more than ten million copies each in the US: “Ropin’ The Wind”, “The Hits” and “Double Live”.

Lyrics
I don’t want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
And I know there’s life below me
But all that you can show me is the prairie and the sky
And I don’t want to hear a sad story
Full of heartbreak and desire
The last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
And I stood on the mountain
In the night and I watched it burn
I watched it burn, I watched it burn
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, I could see your face
Well, you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing I’ll survive
And I come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down out on 95
And pretend that it’s the ocean
Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
Baby, do you know what I mean?
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, I could see your face
If I thought I could see, I could see your face
Thank you

Lyrics
Temperature Rise, It’s all right
Synapses fried, it’s alright
Got a banging headache and a fever
What a wonderful time to leave her
It’s the Summer, it’s the season
It’s the Summer so throw out all reason
It’s the Summer, it’s the season
So pop all those e’s in
Hold the horses and hold the phone
Hold a match to all you know
Hold a conversation and tune out
Hold on tight, don’t hold out
It’s the Summer, it’s the season
It’s the Summer so throw out all reason
Its the Summer, it’s the season
It’s the Summer so pop all those e’s in
And I know now, and I know why
And I know that it’s oh, it’s alright
It’s the Summer, it’s the season
It’s the summer, it’s the season
It’s the Summer, it seemed worth believin’
And it’s ok, it’s alright
It’s ok, no, I got it
Falling down, falling star
Falling out, no, I got it
And it’s a spell, and it’s a spark
And it’s a moonlight garden
Follow you, anywhere
Follow you, anywhere
Follow you, hold my heart out
It’s the Summer, it’s the season
It’s the Summer so pop all those e’s in
And I know now, and I know why
And I know that it’s oh, it’s alright
It’s the Summer, it’s the season
It’s the Summer, it seemed
worth…believe in
Lyrics – George Guilfoyle
