the river and the highway

she follows the path of least resistance

she doesn't care to see the mountain top. she twists and turns with no regard to distance. she never comes to a stop. as she rolls

she's a river. where she goes

time will tell. heaven knows

he can't go with her. and she rolls

all by herself. and she rolls

all by herself. he's headed for a single destination. he doesn't care what's standing in his path. he's a line between two points of separation. he ends just where it says to on the map. as he rolls

he's a highway. where he goes

time will tell. heaven knows

she can't go with him. and he rolls

all by himself. and he rolls

all by himself. but every now and then

he offers her a shoulder. every now and then

she overflows. every now and then

a bridge crosses over. it's a moment

every lover knows. as she rolls

she's a river

where she goes

time will tell. heaven knows

she can't go with him

and she rolls

all by herself

and he rolls

all by himself. fare the well.
