MAN 2:

I left my home at fifteen

I wore this very same coat

My mama said, "Son, if you stay on this path,

You'll find a river full of money where the rich fish flow"

I said, "I'll catch me them fish"

And I've searched low and searched high



Well, I've seen more water than Columbus had seen

I found me this lake that was greener than green

I said, "Mama, I know this is what you mean"

But when I bent for a sip, the river ran dry

The river won't flow for me (no no no)

The river won't flow for me (no no no no)



I live my life on the up and up

And this is where I was meant to be

But the river don't

The river won't

Flow for me



MAN 1:

I never had me no house

I never had me no phone

I never had much that I didn't have to go

And fight for the right to call it my own



I don't expect any help

I don't expect nothing free

It's not about being any righteous man

It's not about God and the master plan

It's not about doing the best I can

No, this corner was where I was born to be



‘Cause the river won't flow for me (no no no)

The river won't flow for me (no no no no)

It's just one of the little lessons

That I learned on my Mama's knee

The river don't

The river won't

Flow for me



MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:

It's all luck,

It's just luck



MAN 2:

There's no way you can rig the game because



MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:

It's all luck,

It's just luck



MAN 1:

The sinner and the saint could wind up the same ‘cause



MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:

It's all luck,

It's just luck



MAN 2, MAN 1:

That decides between the noose and the knife



MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:

It's all luck,

It's just luck

When you're begging to switch

With some rich son-of-a-bitch

Who ain't never done nothing to deserve that life



It seems so easy to run

Until there's nowhere to go

You never get much for the dues you pay

You never go far on the easy way

There isn't much choice

But to kneel and pray

For the river, the river, the river



MAN 2:

To flow



MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:

Flow, flow, flow, flow

Flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow



MAN 1 & WOMAN 2:

The river's got to flow

The river's got to flow



MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:

River, river, river, river,

Flow!



But the river won't flow for you (no no no)

The river won't flow for you (no no no no)

You gotta live how you gotta live

You gotta do what you gotta do

‘Cause the river don't

The river won't

The river can't

The river ain't never ever gonna flow for you



WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2:

Never gonna flow for you



MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:

Never gonna flow for you

Never gonna flow for you!
