There’s a road that follows the waterline Worn-out boots and a borrowed sky I don’t know where it’s gonna end But I’ll find out where the river bends Packed it light, left at dawn Didn’t look back too long Every mile feels like a friend When you’re headin’ where the river bends Saw a man with a weathered face Said “Son, life ain’t a race” He just smiled, didn’t pretend “Best things wait where the river bends” So I keep walkin’, nice and slow Got no map, just goin’ where the wind might blow Ain’t chasin’ gold, ain’t makin’ plans Just followin’ curves I don’t understand Yeah, I keep walkin’, don’t need much Just a little faith and a human touch Every wrong turn makes more sense When you trust that bend… yeah, trust that bend Slept one night by a railroad line Dreamed I finally drew the line Between who I was and who I’ve been Somewhere close to that river bend Met a girl, she laughed like rain Said “Don’t carry all that pain” Then she left like she never meant To stay past that river bend Maybe home ain’t a place you find Maybe it’s just a state of mind Maybe all that we defend Is just fear of that next bend So I keep walkin’, nice and slow Got no map, just goin’ where the wind might blow Ain’t chasin’ gold, ain’t makin’ plans Just followin’ curves I don’t understand Yeah, I keep walkin’, don’t need much Just a little faith and a human touch Every wrong turn makes more sense When you trust that bend… yeah, trust that bend Sun goin’ down, sky turns gold River keeps its secrets told I ain’t lost, just movin’ on Like that water… rollin’ on
