run like the river

Vintage Trouble

One hopeful road
that my Mamma showed to me
from the moment I first standed
I didn't know
Back there and then she released me free
From that patched up shackle down my Pa was handed

She said Tyrone
Go be the King you're meant to be
Like a stone roll on your mission
Hurry now son
There are songs need to be sung
And you're the one to which the heart it is releasin'

Mother said run Baby Run
Go ahead run Baby run
Mother said run Baby run
Run like the river

As wheels do turn
Is how I go you all sure should know
As flames do burn I am ignited
Towards the wind
With squinted eyes I look ahead
'Cos in the end they're all behind me long been ridin'

Mother said run Baby Run
Go ahead run Baby run
Mother said run Baby run
Run like the river
Like the river

Mother said run Baby Run
Go ahead run Baby run
Mother said run Baby run
Run like the river
Run like the river
Run like the river
Run like the river
