Lyrics

Meet me by the riverside after class today
We’ll get high and figure out how things turned out this way
Tune up these old martin strings and write a song of praise
Listen to the river sing these are the good old days

These are the good old days my friend
Good lord we’ve got it made
Listen to the river sing
These are the good old days
Listen to the river sing

Me, Rob, Rasta Rick and some girls we knew from school
Headed out to the middle of the river when they turned that water loose
It rose up like wild horses and froze us to the bone
But we braved the flood and saved the bud and laughed the whole way home

These are the good old days my friend
Good lord we’ve got it made
Listen to the river sing
These are the good old days
Listen to the river sing

They say the river’s old and winding but it’s free just like me
Let a southern wind remind you of someone you used to know
Someone you used to be
Make that guitar cry and let the river, let the river sing

School was done and the summer sun was shining in my eyes
Packed up my old guitar and told my friends goodbye
Now I hear that Rob’s a doctor and Rasta Rick is over seas
But I know deep down that all my friends still hear that river sing 

These are the good old days my friend 
Good lord we’ve got it made
Listen to the river sing these are the good old days *3
