about

This song has become one of our most popular tunes to perform. We released it as a single a few years back but wanted to make it a little jauntier for the album. We boosted the mix to give the mandolin and percussion a little more punch.

lyrics

In the long run, it won’t matter none when hope has faded from view
In an endless night, you can’t make it right when that’s all you wanted to do
They could bring you round They could talk you down
They could try to pretend. But the same old lies don’t make alibis
When you’re in trouble again

Anybody can be afraid - it’s so easy to do
Anybody can see when the light is on you
I don’t know where you’re coming from
I heard you’ve been there before
I don’t know what you find when you open that door
But SOME RIVERS run deep and true

You were always there with a devil may care, careless attitude
You were always the one having too much fun. What ever happened to you?
They could tick you off - They could count you out
They could turn you away. But a hard line in the sands of time
Still ain’t going nowhere

Anybody can be afraid - it’s so easy to do
Anybody can see when the light is on you
I don’t know where you’re coming from
I heard you’ve been there before
I don’t know what you find when you open that door
But SOME RIVERS run deep and true

Why take a path of long and twisting roads.
Lay down your burden. Lay down that load

Anybody can be afraid - it’s so easy to do
Anybody can see when the light is on you
I don’t know where you’re coming from
I heard you’ve been there before
I don’t know what you find when you open that door
But SOME RIVERS run deep and true
And I know - I know - SOME RIVERS run in you
