Like a River

On a long and dusty highway
Bakin’ neath that Western sun
All my thoughts they dance like gypsies
To the engines muffled hum

As I drive towards new adventures
The self doubt inside me springs
But it’s tempered by the sweet words
That my mother used to sing

Like a river runs wild , Like a lark flyin’ free
Like a tall Georgia pine, I’m okay been’ me
Don’t you worry ‘bout them, Don’t you worry ‘bout me
Never fear what they say, Only fear what you think
Never fear what they say, Only fear what you think

As I bust those city limits
The self doubt inside me springs
But I open up that guitar case
And I fill the streets with beats

Some pass by and cast shadows
Others smile joyfully
Some with happy feet start dancin’
As they sing along with me
