Don Williams - Standing Knee Deep In A River lyrics

Friends I could count on I could count
On 1 hand with a left over
Finger or two i took them for
Granted, let them all slip away
Now where they are I wish I knew

They roll by just like water &
I guess we never learn, go
Through life parched and empty standing
Knee deep in a river, dying of thirst

Sometimes I remember the good
People I've known, some I've
Forgotten I suppose one or two still linger
Oh I wonder now why I ever let them go

They roll by just like water &
I guess we never learn, go
Through life parched and empty standing
Knee deep in a river, dying of thirst

So the side walk is crowded the city goes by
I just rushed through
Another day & a world full of
Strangers turn their eyes to me
But I just look the other way

They roll by just like water &
I guess we never learn, go
Through life parched and empty standing
Knee deep in a river, dying of thirst
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst
