(Verse 1) Well I showed up here long ago Just like everyone else did the city was filled and it wasn’t the place That you’d want to raise a kid So I packed up the car, said my goodbyes Left that fast life behind Took a turn where the road ran slow Now this is where I lie (Chorus) Cause we all live downstream chasing after our dreams Sometimes the river runs a little too strong And you come apart at the seams But life moves slower, Way downstream (Verse 2) It didn’t take long till I found the place Where I knew I’d settle in Met a girl who changed my world and I’m the best I’ve ever been At the bend of the river I built this life With steady hands and faith And every mile that carried me here Put a little peace in place (Chorus) Cause we all live downstream chasing after our dreams Sometimes the river runs a little too strong And you come apart at the seams But life moves slower, Way downstream (Bridge) At the end of the river It all feels so right You don’t need the noise or the neon lights What you spent your life searching for Was waiting all along You don’t have to leave You just let it be Where it finally feels like home (Chorus) Cause we all live downstream chasing after our dreams Sometimes the river runs a little too strong And you come apart at the seams But life moves slower, Way downstream (Chorus) Cause we all live downstream still chasing after our dreams Sometimes the river may rise But it gives you everything But life moves slower where you were meant to be Way downstream Way downstream Life was meant to be Right here Oh Right here downstream
