[Intro — acoustic riff, natural vocal] Black rubber... cold water... Yeah... that's how we spent a summer. [Verse 1] Black diesel tube hot on the bank Hit that American River forgot what day it was Rope tied behind me ice chest riding low Cold water on my back nowhere I had to go Sun on the rocks river cutting through the heat Barefoot, half broke had everything we'd need Never called it freedom we were too young to know Just pushed off from the bank and let that river roll [Pre-Chorus] No clock No map Nobody saying when Grab that rope kick off the rocks do it all again [Chorus] FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS BELLY TO THE SUN River doing all the work we weren't doing none FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS LET THAT WATER ROLL Ice chest floating right behind us nowhere we had to go Wasn't chasing nothing didn't need a damn thing River, rope and good friends Man... we lived like kings FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS LET IT ROLL [Turnaround — Telecaster hook] Yeah... Let it roll [Verse 2] Bullfrogs on the bank damn near big as dogs Hear 'em after sundown calling through the dark Blackberries stained our fingers wild grapes off the vine Crawdads in the gutter three-way hook and line Salmon up at Folsom bass down in the creek Sacramento River mud drying on our feet Nobody took a picture nobody needed proof If you were there you remember If you weren't... you missed it too [Pre-Chorus] No clock No map Nobody saying when Grab that rope kick off the rocks do it all again [Chorus] FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS BELLY TO THE SUN River doing all the work we weren't doing none FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS LET THAT WATER ROLL Ice chest floating right behind us nowhere we had to go Wasn't chasing nothing didn't need a damn thing River, rope and good friends Man... we lived like kings FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS LET IT ROLL [Bridge — band drops, voice + acoustic] Back then a whole day felt forever Thought those boys would always be around Didn't know a summer could be over while you're still living it out Some of us kept moving Some ain't here no more But close my eyes... I see us pushing off that shore [Pause] One more time... [Final Chorus — full band] FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS BELLY TO THE SUN River doing all the work we weren't doing none FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS LET THAT WATER ROLL Ice chest floating right behind us like we'd never have to go home Wasn't chasing nothing Hell... we already had the thing A river, rope and good friends and all the time we'd ever need FLOAT LIKE BULLFROGS LET IT ROLL [Outro — acoustic + pedal steel] Thought we were floating down that river... Whole time... the years were floating by.
