See me dancing in the water
I ain’t waiting for another turn
You cried me a river about another
Well, I’m not gonna teach you if you never learn
There is no smooth education
No one ever told you life is fun
You’re travelling from nation to nation
but vou cannot finish any of the things that you’ve begun
So get down, get down to the river
Erase your footsteps and never return
Get down, get down to the river
Well, I’m not gonna teach you if you never learn
We’re just jumping around each other
So why are you in denial, baby?
Your hand holds a queen and a king
So let me tell you one thing: a quitter never wins
So get down, get down to the river
Erase your footsteps and never return
Get down, get down to the river
Well, I’m not gonna teach you if you never learn
Do you even realise you cannot spell out my name
I’m done riding, it’s time to settle down
Oh and you are not a hound dog that is easy to tame
So I’d rather put you on board so you can sail your way south!
So get down, get down to the river
Erase your footsteps and never return, boy
Get down get down to the river
Well, I’m not gonna teach you if you never learn
So get down to the river
Erase your footsteps and never return, no
Get down, get down to the river
Well, I’m not gonna teach you if you never learn
