[Verse 1 - Fences]
I want a lock of your hair
I'm pretty sure it cures disease
All you gotta do is lay your hands on me
Until the illness leaves
I want us to be happy
Better than our families
All we gotta do is lay beside the creek
Until we grow a tree

[Chorus - Fences and Billy Strings]
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe

[Verse 2]
Swear I'll try to believe
You love me just as God made me
A lack of faith, a man with no belief
Passes in his sleep
And I'll be your [Kentucky?]
[?] your book of dried up leaves
All you gotta do is promise to read me
The chapters may be brief

[Chorus - Fences and Billy Strings]
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
[Verse 3 - Billy Strings]
When I wake up with a fever
It must have been a dream I can't recall
Always feels like the rain is comin' down
As soon as I come up
When I'm freezin' through the evenin'
You heart is burnin' like an anthracite
It quickens me in spite of old December's wrath
Throughout the aftermath

[Chorus - Fences and Billy Strings]
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe

[Bridge - Billy Strings]
When you cross the stream well you do so to find me
And walk along the salmon like [?]
And the steps you take might break me without warning
And remind me of the sorrow in the song

[Chorus - Fences and Billy Strings]
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
