On A River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were sittin' there on the porch on a Sunday afternoon We were soakin' up the sun while we were waitin' on the moon And she said, "Honey, when you quit singin' and you put down that guitar And you look into the future, tell me where we are" [Chorus] And I said, "I see me and you on a river A little house with a couple of chairs Homemade chilli and cold beer for dinner We'll count the stars and the grays in our hair and We'll spend our mornings walkin' with Jesus We'll spend our evenings talkin' to God Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us Watchin' sunsets like it's our job? If I could paint a perfect picture I'd see me and you on a river" [Verse 2] I'm thinkin' somewhere in Montana But hell, anywhere would do As long as it's got your green eyes, baby, I know I'm gonna love the view And we'll have a couple of Palominos, teach the grandkids how to fish I know it seems like a long way off, but it's right around the bend [Chorus] And I said, "I see me and you on a river A little house with a couple of chairs Homemade chilli and cold beer for dinner We'll count the stars and the grays in our hair and We'll spend our mornings walkin' with Jesus We'll spend our evenings talkin' to God Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us Watchin' sunsets like it's our job? If I could paint a perfect picture I'd see me and you on a river" [Post-Chorus] Ooh [Chorus] Yeah, I see me and you on a river And when I run outta words that rhyme You pick the spot and I'll pull the trigger I'd paint our names on a mailbox sign And we'll spend our mornings walkin' with Jesus I'll kiss you slow when the daylight's gone Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us Watchin' sunsets like it's our job? If I could paint a perfect picture I'd see me and you on a river [Outro] Oh, yeah, on a river
