[Verse 1]
The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be

[Chorus]
Flow, river, flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town

[Verse 2]
All he wanted
Was to be free
And that's the way
It turned out to be

[Chorus]
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

[Bridge]
Flow river flow
Past the shaded tree
Go river, go
Go to the sea
Flow to the sea
[Verse 3]
The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be

[Chorus]
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town
