Lyrics

You Can't Push The River

c 2011 Ian North


When that rainy day comes, I'm gonna take
Everything out from under the bed
Get myself a bottle before the money's gone
And work some notions out in my head
Everybody's trying to get somewhere
All I need is a rocking chair

Chorus:
Go on, complain about the weather
You could knock me over with a feather
You might be just that clever,but
You can't push the river

Once I had a job, just to go fishing
In a spot that nobody knew
Well, not really, but no harm in wishing
Wish I'd caught a fish or two
Some boats are bigger than other boats
All I need is a boat that floats

Chorus

Bridge:
I used to be a troubled man, and it's funny how trouble
Found me over and over again
I don't know how the trouble started
But they say that trouble never ends

When I'm dead and gone sit me on a pony
Bury me where I fall
Either that or put me on the water
Or drop me down a wishing well
Everybody thinks they know the way
I try not to listen to what they say

Chorus
