Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Mr. Powell lyrics
[Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Mr. Powell lyrics]
Just about a hundred years or so ago
Ten men rode their way
Down the mighty Colorado
And as I read about their journey
I couldn't help but feel
A very similar yearning to Mr powell
And I wish that I could
Have been there with him
The way he talked about the river
I could tell the revelations he must have
Felt within himself
The realization of what man's supposed to do
I feel it too
As they would ride over the waves
As they would glide over the waves
The river forged it's way through canyons
That were so high that the
Clouds would float within them
Cascade fountains moss surrounded
On through a gorge grand beyond description
And the river rolls
Like a whirlpool it sets my mind to spinnin'
Can you imagine walls that went so high
The sky would be nothing more than
A single thin blue line
And rocks would rainbow their way
Up to the sky
As they would ride over the waves
As they would glide over the waves
You'd hear them singing, singing
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ten men rode their way
Down the mighty Colorado
And as I read about their journey
I couldn't help but feel
A very similar yearning to Mr powell
And I wish that I could
Have been there with him
The way he talked about the river
I could tell the revelations he must have
Felt within himself
The realization of what man's supposed to do
I feel it too
As they would ride over the waves
As they would glide over the waves
The river forged it's way through canyons
That were so high that the
Clouds would float within them
Cascade fountains moss surrounded
On through a gorge grand beyond description
And the river rolls
Like a whirlpool it sets my mind to spinnin'
Can you imagine walls that went so high
The sky would be nothing more than
A single thin blue line
And rocks would rainbow their way
Up to the sky
As they would ride over the waves
As they would glide over the waves
You'd hear them singing, singing
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
