Well, I don't mind saying
If you don't mind
We've been over this thing
Now a thousand times
And it always ends the same way
So take my hand and hold
Let's take a walk
Down the old river road
We'll wander past the station
Overgrown with grass so green
Wash our faces in the water
From the nearby stream
You can't beat that fresh clean air
And if the truth be told
There's some secrets there
Down the old river road
You might find it in the summertime
You could be stranded there in the cold
Looking for some warmth and shelter
Down the old river road
Goodbye to old lovers
Where are all my friends
You gotta make ends meet
So we can meet at the end
And let's take the time
Before we get too old
To appreciate
The old river road
Down the old river road
