Rodney Atkins - The River Knows lyrics

4 a.m. comes awful early, and I was dead on my feet But if you gonna catch a biggest fish You gotta lose a little sleep Well, I pack my gear and a couple beers I headed for my favorite spot Well, I curse my luck when I saw his truck right where I pulled off Wish open to have the river to myself that day 'Cause the river don't talk, the river don't care Where you've been, what you've done Why it is your standin' there It just flows on by whisperin' to your soul It's gonna be alright, the river just knows The way the sun bounced off the water I couldn't wholely make him out But I could see he had a fish on A big ole rainbow trout The fight went on forever And as he headed down my way, I saw his Military hair cut and the new scars on his face Right then I knew what brought him to this place You know the river don't talk, the river don't care Where you've been, what you've done Don't know why it is your standin' there It just flows on by whisperin' to your soul It's gonna be alright, the river just knows He held that fish down in the water And it caused to back the line He said "Help, you get your wind back 'Cause you help me get mine" And all I could think to say was "Welcome home" But I think that river said it best on its own 'Cause the river don't talk, you know the river don't care Where you've been, what's you've done Why it is your standin' there It just flows on by whisperin' to your soul It's gonna be alright, the river just knows It's gonna be alright, the river just knows
