SG Lewis, JP Cooper - Shivers lyrics

I've been watching the man at the bar
With his head in his hands
And I think to myself
"I was just like you"
I can see there are times in your life
When it's way too much for you
The battles you wear, or the armor you choose
When I first fill my lungs in the morning
I try to remember to say
A quiet "thank you"
And if I rise with a weight in my heart
I like to play myself a sweet little tune

And I feel those cool rivers
Washing all over me
And I know these smooth rhythms
Make me move my feet
Oh you give me those soul shivers
Taking me back to the days
When music was a life-giver
Make a bad man change his ways

Cool rivers soul shivers
I can feel those smooth rhythms
Make a bad man change
A bad man change his ways

I've seen men who sleep at
The side of the road
With a smile upon their face
I heard old men sing with
Youth in their voice
When that old-time record plays
I seen young boys learning their first steps
To the sound of those drum breaks
And I heard the sound that accompanies
So many first mistakes

Still, I feel those cool rivers
Washing all over me
And I know these smooth rhythms
Make me move my feet
Oh you give me those soul shivers
Taking me back to the days
When music was a life-giver
Make a bad man change his ways

Oh, I see those cool rivers soul shivers
I can feel those smooth rhythms
Make a bad man change
A bad man change his ways
