J. J. Cale Stone River Lyrics

Stone River Lyrics

Stone River, water ain't runnin' no more

Stone River, water ain't runnin' no more



But man, he done come an' gone, polluted all around

There ain't no river runnin', no water can't be found



Stone River, water ain't runnin' no more



Fish ain't swimmin', ain't no fish around nowhere

Fish ain't swimmin', ain't nobody seem to care



They bottled up and dammed it, choked it up and canned it

Killed the life around it and stole it like a bandit



Stone River, water ain't runnin' no more



What used to be a river, now is just an empty site

Ain't no vegetation, it's just an agitation, it don't seem right



There ain't no trees a growin', no animals are showin'

What used to be a stream is now just a dream



Stone River, water ain't runnin' nowhere

Stone River, water ain't runnin'



Man, he done cut it off, and moved it all around

There ain't no river runnin', no water can't be found



Stone River, water ain't runnin' no more



They bottled up and dammed it, choked it up and canned it

Killed the life around it and stole it like a bandit



Stone River, water ain't runnin' no more



There ain't no trees a growin', no animals are showin'

What used to be a stream is now just a dream



Stone River, water ain't runnin' nowhere

Stone River, water ain't runnin' nowhere



Stone River, water ain't runnin' no more
