Goin’ Down the River

[Verse 1]
Goin' down the river (Goin' down the river)
You're a little boy on a little boat (Little boy on a little boat)
White sheets are blowing (The white sheets are blowing)
Blowing like all get out (They're blowing like all get out)
No one can stop you now
No one can muss your hair
No one can criticize
No one can tell you lies
You can do whatever you want
You can say whatever you like
You can wear whatever you want
Your shirt is plaid, your pants are striped

[Chorus]
This ain't no dying of the light
This ain't no final boarding call
This ain't no swan song
This is the promise of all
'Cause you're goin' down the river
Down the river of life

[Verse 2]
You're a little boy on a little raft (A little boy on a little raft)
And the white sheets are streaming back
(White sheets are streaming back)
There's figures on the river bank (Figures on the river bank)
They're all ap'ize, apologizing (Apologize, apologizing)
You don't have to worry now
You don't have to listen to them
You can say whatever you want
You can be whoever you like
You're free now, you're free now
You're free now, you're free now
You can do whatever you like
Your shirt is plaid, your pants are striped

[Chorus]
This ain't no dying of the light
This ain't no final boarding call
This ain't no swan song
This is the promise of all
'Cause you're goin' down the river (Down the river)
Down the river of life

[Verse 3]
River's going faster (River's going faster)
Hey Huck, hold onto your hat (Hey Huck, hold onto your hat)
You'd better look out now (You'd better look out now)
No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that (No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that)
The flying fish are flying up
Flying up for you to see
There's bear on the riverbank
They're fishing for those flying fish
Wishing for those flying fish
Don't you love those flying fish?
You're free now, you're free now
You can say whatever you like

[Chorus]
This ain't no dying of the light (Of the light)
This ain't no final boarding call
This ain't no swan song
This is the promise of all
'Cause you're goin', goin', goin' down the river
Yes, you're goin', goin', goin' down, down the river
Yes, you're goin', goin', goin' down, down the river
Down the river of life

[Outro]
Goodbye (Goodbye goodbye goodbye), goodbye goodbye
Goodbye (Goodbye goodbye goodbye), goodbye goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye goodbye
Goodbye (Goodbye goodbye goodbye), goodbye goodbye
Goodbye (Goodbye goodbye goodbye), goodbye goodbye
Goodbye
