[Verse 1]
C Am7
Five years old, skippin’ rocks across that Cypress Creek
F C
Mama said, “Don’t you forget, you got church shoes on your feet”
C Am7
Daddy smoked them Salems up and wore them sideburns down
F C
My world was only as big as that little blink-and-you-miss-it town

[Chorus]
F G C Am
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
F G C
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time

Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, hangin’ on to what’s left behind
F G C
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time

C Am7
Muscle car and a leather jacket, crusin’ the main street drag
F C
Cool as a can of Copenhagen and a six pack in a bag

We were all about them college girls when they came home on break

Thought those days would last forever and growin’ up would wait

Now daddy’s in his easy chair, mama’s hairs turned grey

She laughs and says it’s all because of my young and wilder days
C Am7
I found a girl that makes me smile, I’ll never let her go

Growin’ old don’t scare me none, I believe in streets of gold

Just gonna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time

Oh we ride, ride, ride that river of time
