Right here at the mouth of this river Where we stand today I swear I can hear everything That I had long been wanting to say So take your deepest breath and ask Will we last and why Truth is, the answer runs Right through our town And the rest of our lives Here on this river On a course for keeps After all these years We're still here This river runs deep My mind can wander off Scattering thoughts out there In a world gone adrift I get tangled up and I get scared But we tied our soul strings To stand the test of time So when you feel me pulling away Just give me a tug back home on the line That's here on this river On a course for keeps After all these years We're still here This river runs deep It can't be dammed by beast or man Or swallowed by thirsty land Twisting, winding but running true I'll brave the turns with you Here on this river On a course for keeps After all these years We're still here This river runs deep
