John (Cougar) Mellencamp - To The River lyrics

They are master and slave. We are sunlight and shadow. All roads to the river. I am lost. I am saved. I'm beloved and betrayed. All roads to the river. And the river runs wide, And the river runs deep And I spit in the eye Of safe company. When I dive right down To the undertow Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I'll go. I am whispering dreams. I am howling revolutions. All roads to the river. I am valentine sweet And I live in this nightmare. All roads to the river. And the river runs wide, The river runs deep And I spit in the eye Of safe company. When I dive right down To the undertow Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I'll go. This is nothing like we planned. That's the way it's always been. All roads to the river. I have hated and I have loved. I have prayed and I have sinned. All roads to the river. And the river runs wide, The river runs deep And I spit in the eye Of safe company. When I dive right down To the undertow Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I'll go.
