Rusty Clanton
River and Sprout
[Verse 1]
Four walls, a roof, and plenty of
Attention and food to fill me up
All my life should have been enough
To show me how to love you
I'm sorry I don't always know
Just how to let the small things go
Or what to say when it matters most
You make it look so easy
[Chorus]
If you're a river than I must be a spout
Where you deliver, I barely spit it out you know that
No one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean
You're what love is made of
My imitation's cheap
[Verse 2]
Honest I don't remember when
I had a thought pass through my head
Not about me in the end
And I don't know how to curb it
Can't help but wonder why I don't
Ever feel ice in your tone
Or have to hear I told you so's
Heaven knows I've earned it
[Chorus]
If you're a river than I must be a spout
Where you deliver, I barely spit it out you know that
No one wants a taste unless it's flowing cool and clean
You're what love is made of
My imitation's cheap
[Interlude]
[Outro]
I don't wanna lose you
I know you're not just a game I'm playing
When'll I ever understand?
The more I know it
The less I wanna show it:
Love means folding with a winning hand
