In the spring of the year I had a chance to go And ride the wild water Of the Rio Colorado I was full of wonder As we pulled into the stream I was ready for the wild ride Down the river of life, canyon of dreams We were rollin' on the river Mmm, we were rollin' with the flow To the cathedral of the condo To the rapids down below And as the sun was setting I got to think and then it seemed I was under the spell Of the river of life, canyon of dreams ♪ Oo, sleeping on the sandbar Oo, playing my guitar Oo, lying on the sandbar Oo, counting the stars We ain't gettin' any younger So if you have a chance to go And ride the wild water Of the Rio Colorado Call up mighty Noir And throw caution to the wind You'll be ready for the wild ride The river of life, canyon of dreams You'll be ready for the wild ride Through the river of life and canyon of dreams
