The River And The Highway Lyrics

The River And The Highway lyrics

(Gerry House/Don Schlitz)

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

And 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
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

And 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
All by himself

And every now and then, he offers her a shoulder
And every now and then, she overflows
And every now and then, a bridge crosses over
It`s a moment that every lover knows

And she rolls (and he rolls)
She`s a river (he`s a highway)
Where she goes (where he goes)
Time will tell (Time will tell)
Heaven knows she can`t go with him (he can`t go with her)
And she rolls all by herself
And he rolls all by himself
Fare thee well
