This town ain't ten feet wide
And population 205
Just a place that the river goes by
And it don't slow down, it gets on out
Mud mixed in with sin
From upstream baptizings
Don't need no more from this town
It just can't win, it all makes sense

That's why the river runs, yeah
That's why the river runs
I can't blame that water for leavin'
If I rolled in here, I wouldn't stick around either
That's why the river runs, yeah

This town ain't nothin' but
Bunch of worn-out same ol' stuff
A dried-up whiskey cup
And a broken heart hidin' in the dark
It creeps up from behind
Like a cottonmouth showin' wide
You can bet it's gonna bite
If you get too close, you better go

That's why the river runs, yeah
That's why the river runs
I can't blame that water for leavin'
If I rolled in here, I wouldn't stick around either
That's why the river runs

He knows better than to stop by now
So he never has to worry about gettin' out

That's why the river runs
That's why the river runs
I can't blame that water for leavin'
If I rolled in here, I wouldn't stick around either
That's why the river runs, yeah

That's why the river runs
That's why the river runs
