The Burlage-Paul Band: Music
Don't Push the River
(Victor Paul)
July 9, 2009
Music & lyrics by Victor Paul
Natural forces flow as they flow. Not a good idea to interrupt or otherwise force changes to that natural rhythm.
I try and I try to make a love work out 2x
But I should have known better
You don’t push the river
I go down to the river see my reflection in the water 2x
Look like some kind of stranger there
Trying to push the river
Everybody’s running round got that big noise in their head 2x
You know I think we’re in some kind of danger here
Trying to push the river
The water flows down high on the mountain top 2x
And the eagle flies above the water
But he don’t push the river
No you don’t push the river
I tried to push the river
Steel and concrete
Trying to push the river
And the deer and the raccoon
Come down to drink the water
But they don’t push the river
No you don’t push the river
I tried to push the river
Got that big noise in their head
Trying to push the river
I tried to push the river
