River Guide October, 2012

My river has a story that I learned over the years
Didn’t read it in a book, wasn’t taught it in a school
The river was my class room, it taught me where to go
Showed me all her secrets, now I can drive her like a road

I’m gonna row this raft through the rapids, feel the water splash my skin
We’ll come out the other side and do it again
I’m gonna row this raft through the rapids, no other place I want to go
It sets me free; it makes me whole

They come from all the cities, and many different towns
And they try to get away from all the stresses they have found
So I take them on a journey, with the river as our guide
And I try to find the safest place to take them for a ride

I’m gonna row this raft …..

At the end of a long day, I unload the raft pack the gear away
And I wonder what they’re doing back home
There’s a price I pay to be on this road
When I’m floating down that river
There’s no sacrifice I wouldn’t make to be with her

There are jobs that pay more money, and I’ll have to get one soon
When I’m sitting in my office, I’ll be thinking about the moon
And all the shooting stars I saw that night in the sky above Paradise Lodge
And I will get back there some day to hold those paddles in my arms

I'm gonna row this raft.....
