River Song [early version] Lyrics by Beach Boys

(I was born into the city life)

Walkin' down by the river
Water running through my knees
River, oh river moves so free
Oh, mighty river endlessly

Oh, mighty river
I would love to be like you
Oh, lonely river
Has not got the time to say

I was born into the city life
Well, it's all that I've ever known
You know it's rough gettin' ‘round this place
So crowded, I can hardly breathe

You can only see about a block or two, yeah
In L.A., that's the truth
I'm lookin' for some country life
Some kickin' room, no more city life
I want the river

(Composers: Dennis Wilson & Carl Wilson)
