Beat Farmers - Watching The River lyrics

(Transcribed by Mike Yak. I hope they're right!) Mr. Jensen down the road He's 67 years old His wife is dead And his son lives in Oregon And the clock won't spare him nothin' The conclusion is foregone As he keeps on watchin' the river rollin' on You can look outside your window At the hustlin' of the day But night time falls And you know that it won't last long One man eats beans for supper One eats filet mignon As he keeps on watchin' the river rollin' on Livin' like tomorrow is a universe away As the signs run out with the dispa**ionate young Never yielding to the wisdom That there ain't no Avalon They just keep on watchin' the river rollin' on Did you tell your wife that you love her? Did you tell your kids the same? Did you hold them in your arms with all your brawn? 'Cause they won't be here forever And the next day you'll be gone As you keep on watchin' the river rollin' on
