about

This song was written inspired by the Suwannee River in Central Florida, and people who keep going and going as though fueled by a special inner fire... the ones that make you appreciate the good things in life.

lyrics

Long Rivers

Got dust in my sandals, Water filled in my pack
How much do you gamble, That you’ll never go back
If you keep on walking, Til your feet turn black
Will you keep on walking, Til the graound aint flat
If your heart sings so loud, That it echoes off the trees
Then it might be good for something, But you don’t need me
But you don’t need me, But you don’t need…

Sometimes we all forget if the river flows so clear
Sometimes we all forget that summer falls each year
Sometimes we shoot our dreams like arrows at the stars
Sometimes they shoot us first that’s how we get so far

Sometimes they shoot us first that’s how we get so far
Sometimes they shoot us first that’s how we get so far
Sometimes we all forget that summer falls each year
Sometimes we all forget if the river flows so clear

Hips shaking, sparkling eyes shine
Belly aching, sun shaking us dry
Who’s taken, never thought I’d cry

Wake in the morning, singing in the shower
I see my breath rising, out in the garden
Roses are sleeping, morning glory’s bright
Didn’t get much sleep, after singing all night

Sometimes we all forget if the river flows so clear
Sometimes we all forget that summer falls each year
Sometimes we shoot our dreams like arrows at the stars
Sometimes they shoot us first that’s how we get so far

Got dust in my sandals, Water filled in my pack
How much do you gamble, That you’ll never go back
If you keep on walking, Til your feet turn black
Will you keep on walking, Til the ground ain't flat
If your heart sings so loud, That it echoes off the trees
Then it might be good for something, But you don’t need me
But you don’t need me, But you don’t need to need.
