rodney parker - in the river lyrics
she’s sitting on the counter with cotton ‘tween her
toes
he’s thinking about leaving, and making it known
and while she waits she pulls a petal from a rose
he’s summing up syllables and putting on his clothes
and out in woods where the white river flows
it’s carrying something home
but don’t forget, that he just needs a kind he’s never
met
he just needs a kind he’s never met
and you know all the words, but you ain’t really heard
‘em yet
she wants to talk, she’s a little bit scared
so she just keeps quiet and hopes he cares
and he thinks it over while he touches her hair
and he’s gotta do it, though it’s not fair
and out in the river there’s rocks down
where the sun can’t point it’s glare
but don’t forget that he just needs a kind he’s never
met
he just needs a kind he’s never met
and you know all the words, but you ain’t really heard
‘em yet
and on the floor she’s crying and moaning “just can’t
be so.
“well, i tried to be the one that he wants.
“he told me but it can’t be so.”
well, it was more than one, and it was more than one at
once
and you want him now, but wait ‘til the morning
your bed is half empty and your eyes are full wet
he’s the kind that needs a woman, he just needs a kind
he’s never met
he just needs a kind he’s never met
and you know all the words, but ten thousand flowers
can’t dam a river
can they, baby? can they, darlin’?
no, ten thousand flowers can’t dam a river
now, baby
