Lyrics

[CHET] Least there's a couple of ropes [JAKE] I need this to be over [CHET] If you want to find him, this is the only way for gettin' across this [JAKE] Where is he? [CHET] (Spoken) Jake. We've been on this river, down in town (Sung) Remember the time Canoeing clinch river [JAKE] Yeah, me with a six pack You with the oar! [CHET] Remember we tipped When our boat hit the rapids And we spent all afternoon Fishin' beers from the shore Up here My body best deliver 50 feet over the rapids The closest I wanna get Balance Or cannonball into Clinch River And though we forgot to bring a six pack We'll end up just as wet (Spoken) Come on, Twitchell. Get it movin'. One boot in front of the other (Sung, Overlapping) Remember the time We swore to join the circus Master the trapeze and a high wire act Remember we stretched a rope between houses I'd jump The timing exact [JAKE] (Overlapping) Remember the time Should've joined the Circus My bags were packed Stretched A rope between houses I'd catch you The timing exact [JAKE] Up here [CHET] I swear I feel eleven [JAKE & CHET] 50 feet over the rapids [JAKE] I see the goal line ahead [CHET] Balance The tightrope tween hades and heaven Don't know what's above me [JAKE] Don't look at what's below me [CHET] Look forward instead Keep your eyes from the sun Don't look any higher Than what's straight ahead And you'll make it across The challenge is fun We're building character So said our teachers So said our boss [CHET] Keep your eyes from the sun Don't look any higher Than what's straight ahead And your dreams have a shot The hard part is done Your life has been chosen The best and the only Choice that you've got [JAKE] Remember the time We swore we saw the ocean Looked at the Atlantic And the Chesapeake bay Remember we climbed To the top of north mountain And swore we saw the ocean 300 miles away? Someday I'd like to see the ocean I'd rather sooner than later Before i forget Balance Is not what will set things in motion We're living life as if it's over But im not finished yet [CHET] Work like a dog [JAKE] Drink like a fish [CHET] Set your sights on goals You can accomplish [JAKE & CHET] Company men Find success find dignity When they settle for less Up here My body best deliver 50 feet over the rapids The closest im gonna get Balance Or cannonball into clinch river And when you accept what's laid before you The less you'll regret [FRANCES] (Overlapping) Row, stroke Row, stroke Row, stroke Row, stroke [PETE] (Overlapping) There's gonna be fire There's gonna be noise There's gonna be hell to pay For the burnt part boys [JAKE & CHET] (Overlapping) Keep your eyes from the sun Don't look any higher Look straight ahead And there's Less risk of loss The hard part is done The choice was made for you Look straight ahead Look straight ahead Look straight ahead Look straight ahead [PETE] (Overlapping) There's gonna be fire There's gonna be noise There's gonna be fire Fire, noise There's gonna be Fire, noise Hell to pay [FRANCES] (Overlapping) Row stroke Row stroke Row stroke Row stroke Row stroke I can get to The top of the mountain Row stroke Row stroke Row stroke Row stroke [JAKE, CHET, PETE, & FRANCES] And you'll make it across
