Making your way to protest the war
Needed a ride, I opened the door
Hopped right on in, turned the radio dial
You changed the song in this heart of mine
When we broke down, we camped by the creek
I played my guitar, you listened to me
That was the first night of my life
That someone could see this heart of mine
Over and over the river, it flows like years disappearing in time
The days will move slow, but the pain's going nowhere
Your hand couldn't hold on to mine
And all the nights awake
Just longing for the real thing
Over and over the river will carry me home
The turnpike of love is littered with wrecks
Some crash and some burn, some lose their direction
But you stayed the course and drove through the night
And knocked on my door and this heart of mine
A mother can dream her baby will grow
To find a love, a love of her own
Someone who's strong and stands by her side
The one I can trust with this love of mine
Over and over the river, it flows like years disappearing in time
The days will move slow, but the pain's going nowhere
Your hand couldn't hold on to mine
And all the nights awake
Longing for the real thing
Over and over the river will carry me home
It's harder to love when you know the cost
You can't forget all that you lost
But you brought me back, out from the pines
You saved my soul and this heart of mine
