I'm someone you've gotta wait for
I slowly flow downstream
I started as just a drip of water
At the top of a creek
Since then I've been falling
Down, down the river
Down the path I'm carving, oh
Down, down the river
Don't show no signs of stopping
Down the river, oh
Going down the river all the way
It's a long and winding journey
I can't fight gravity and wind
And I started out so tiny
Before the current came rushin' in
Since then I've been falling
Down, down the river
Through the path I'm carving, oh
Down, down the river
Don't show no signs of stopping
Down the river, oh
Going down the river all the way
All the way
And the mountains can't stop me, no
I'll turn them into canyons and caves
Might be years down the valley, oh
But I'll make it into the wave
Since then I've been falling
Down the river
Down the river
'Til then I'm still falling
Down, down the river
Down the path I'm carving, oh
Down, down the river
Don't show no signs of stopping
Down the river, oh
Going down the river all the way
All the way
