[Verse 1]
Got another 45 hour week behind me
Boss on my ass tryna nickel and dime me
And I'm just tryna get to where the world can't find me
And that all reminds me
I got a hand-me-down patched up twelve foot boat
Got a motor on the back but the pull string broke
And that's alright 'cause she still floats
And that's all she wrote

[Chorus]
I'm going where the river goes
Where I'll end up nobody knows
Easing on down her with my Ugly Stik
And I'll be skipping that bay and catching them fish
Got a red Igloo full of coolers on ice
Got a long hot day full of clear blue skies
Wherever I'll be I'll be doing alright
Just spending my time going where the river goes

[Verse 2]
A day like this is way overdue
I ain't takin' no worries, I ain't takin' no shoes
Just takin' my shades and my old dog Blue
And takin' in that million dollar view
[Chorus]
Well, I'm going where the river goes
Where I'll end up nobody knows
Easing on down her with my Ugly Stik
And I'll be skipping that bay and catching them fish
Got a red Igloo full of coolers on ice
A long hot day full of clear blue skies
Wherever I'll be I'll be doing alright
Just spending my time going where the river goes

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
Just going where the river goes

[Bridge]
I'm 'bout to get to where the world can't find me
And leave it all behind me

[Chorus]
I'm going where the river goes
Where I'll end up nobody knows
Easing on down her with my Ugly Stik
And I'll be skipping that bay and catching them fish
Got a red Igloo full of coolers on ice
Got a long hot day full of clear blue skies
Wherever I'll be I'll be doing alright
Just spending my time going where the river goes
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
Just going where the river goes
