Old river road

Intro

They searched the river bottom

The woods all around.

Where the found my old Chevy

And blood on the ground.

Verse

When you’re young you want freedom.

You want to have your way.

When you’re young you are restless

You want to have your say.

Pre chorus

I fell in with a rough crowd.

I talked the talk.

But they wanted to see if

I’d walk the walk.

Chorus

When it came push to shove

I backed out told them no.

All they found was the car

On old river road.

Verse

When you’re young you want action

You want to do your thing.

When you are young you are foolish

You want to try your wings

Pre chorus

I fell in with a rough crowd.

I talked the talk.

But they wanted to see if

I’d walk the walk.

Chorus

When it came push to shove

I backed out told them no.

All they found was the car

On old river road.

Bridge

I should’ve listened to daddy

Should have towed the line.

I should’ve steered clear of trouble.

I would have been fine.
