[Verse 1]
Old river with a lazy eye
Steady rollin' on through
Hasn’t got a care at all, no
Hasn’t got a clue
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me it’s easy
Lazy you
Don’t tell me it’s not your fault
Just passing on through
Steady roll on
[Verse 2]
Old river, don’t stop
Don’t stop for you
Doesn’t have a change of heart, no
Steady holding true
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me it’s easy
Lazy you
Don’t tell me it’s not your fault
Just passing on through
Steady roll on
[Bridge]
I’m sitting on the shoreline
Sweating bullets in the hot sun
I can tell you it’s a sure fire way
Passing time until it’s gone
[Instrumental Outro]
