Words and music by David Lapp

lyrics

There’s a river running through this town
Deep water runs muddy brown
Twistin’ and turnin’ in the currents cold
Carries the stories of this town I’m told
Down by the river is where the people go

They lie together some summer nights
Down by the shore in the cool moonlight
Some say the water can cleanse the soul
Some say only the river knows
Down by the river that’s where the people go

See them dancin’, see them dancin’ down there
See them dancin’, see them dancin’ down there

When there’s trouble something’s in the air
Hear their footsteps in the grass down there
Troubled souls holdin’ out their hands
Look to the river to help them understand
Down by the river that’s where the people go

See them dancin’, see them dancin’ down there
See them dancin’, see them dancin’ down there

Down the street you can hear some voices cry
Talkin’ ‘bout somethin’ maybe you and I
Every secret has a home I’ve found
There’s a river running through this town
Down by the river
Down by the river that’s
Down by the river that’s where the people go
