You keep looking out my window 
At the driftwood floating by 
Like a flock of birds in falltime 
You're just itching to fly 
I know I cannot hold you 
Cause you live life to the hilt 
So go on get out of here girl 
I don't want your guilt. 
Go on and roll down your river Babe 
I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn 
You've earned every scar 
That you brought with you Baby 
But there's one lesson that you'll never learn. 
What goes down that river don't return. 
I remember when you washed up on my doorstep 
You had a dirty face, a damp dress and a dream 
But now you're just a fish out of the water, Baby 
It's time to throw you back into the stream. 
So go on and roll down your river Babe 
I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn 
You've earned every scar 
That you brought with you Baby 
But there's one lesson that you'll never learn. 
What goes down that river don't return. 
Now don't you bleed on me about all our good times 
Don't tell me that you'll never be the same 
Don't tell me anything but goodbye Baby 
More than that would be just another game. 
So go on and roll down your river Babe 
I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn 
You've earned every scar 
That you brought with you Baby 
But there's one lesson that you'll never learn. 
What goes down that river don't return. 
You leave me with a month of your sweet madness 
You leave me with your music in my head 
You leave me with the mystery of the river rolling 
You leave me with a desert for my bed. 
So go on and roll down your river Babe 
I'll bet you'll make that muddy water churn 
You've earned every scar-
