Story behind the song
On Sat. June 20, 2009 ... the rest of our lives began, when
Larry & I were led by God to property for sale along the Buffalo River in Linden, TN.
It only took one glance for us to KNOW, this is where God wants us to spend the rest of our lives serving Him & the local community, and, we will ... Forever, on "My River" !
Lyrics
On Sat. June 20, 2009 ... the rest of our lives began, when
Larry & I were led by God to property for sale along the Buffalo River in Linden, TN.
It only took one glance for us to KNOW, this is where God wants us to spend the rest of our lives serving Him & the local community.
When I told my dying adopted mom, my "Utter-Mutter" ...Georgia, about the property,
she struggled & asked me on her deathbed, " Take me with you "
all the while, knowing she would never make it to see "my" river,
I told her she would always be with me,
Forever, on my river & in my heart !
I now plan to purchase a Yellow ( Her favorite color koi fish ) Canoe & christen it,
" Georgia " in her honor
Then, she will ... forever, be with me ... on "my" river !
My beloved Georgia passed away on July 27, 2009
Stricken with grief,
I could not even physically attend her service.
In my silent suffering at home ... the river was calling me & gave birth to this song.
Dedicated to
Georgia Louise Stamey
" Forever, with me ... on my river ! "
" Tennessee ... Is Calling Me, Home "
( The River )
There's a river ... calling me,
A blue sky ... far as I can see
Oh, I believe it ... I have seen it.
The river ... is calling me
To the hills of ... Linden, Tennessee
Oh, I believe it ... I have seen it,
" Tennessee ... is calling me ... Home ! "

To where ... healing waters flow
To where ... love is all you know
To where ... hearts run wild
Where you find yourself ... SO alive.
There ... all pain is gone
There's ... where you belong.
And, once there ... you realize
Life's taken you ... where you're SO alive.
