[Verse]
D G D The lines on my father''s face A D Ran deep as creek beds on our place G D And the river ran right through his soul A D But I know at times it tooks its toll G When the crops would flood we lived on fish D A D But never did my father wish G D To leave the land his life flowed from A D The river and my dad were one
[Chorus]
Bm G And I''m one of the river''s own A Bm G It''s current down inside me is strong D A Bm And it''s up to me to carry on G A D ''Cause I''m one of the river''s own
[Verse]
G D As a kid I watched the river flow A D Yeah, I admired the way it rocked and rolled G D Dad was proud I was a river rat A D But that''s where our common ground ended at G ''Cause I seen those city lights downstream D A D And they drew me in when I was seven teen G D I went everywhere that river runs A D Yeah, me and that river we were one
[Chorus]
Bm G And I''m one of the river''s own A Bm G It''s current down inside me is strong D A Bm And it''s up to me to carry on G A D ''Cause I''m one of the river''s own
[Verse]
G D Two years ago dad passed away A D And I''ll never forget that mournful day G D Then a lawyer read me out his will A D It said son, it''s time for you to be still G Then a week ago a government man D A D Tried to pay me off to flood our land G D And I did just what my dad would''ve done A D ''Cause me and that river we are one
[Chorus]
Bm G And I''m one of the river''s own A Bm G It''s current down inside me is strong D A Bm And it''s up to me to carry on G A D ''Cause I''m one of the river''s own
