"Cool River" lyrics

Cool river
Winding down the side of the road
We sat teary eyed with our smiles wide
Just to be alive in the wonder of it all

I remember
A soldier's smile on the way back home
And we couldn't tell who meant us well
As the rebels yelled and the city burned slow

But when breathing gets troubling
I know about a place that we can go

The cool river
The cool river
The cool river

Cool river
Winding down the side of the road
We sat teary eyed, with our smiles wide
Just to be alive in the wonder of it all

Moon glimmering
Slipping past the night patrol
In a civil war but unlike before
You're not really sure what you're even fighting for

And if they catch us here we'll get 20 years
But I ain't fighting no other mans war

The cool river
The cool river
The cool river

I get lost a thousand times
He paid him off for the crime
This world is yours, no it's mine
That's how it works every time

Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo

Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo

Peace like a river ran through the city
Long past the midnight curfew we sat starry eyed
Misinformation followed us like a plague
Nobody knew from time to time if the plans would change
If the plans would change

Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo

Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
