"On A River" lyrics

We were sitting there on the porch
On a Sunday afternoon
We were soaking up the sun
While we were waiting on the moon
And she said, "Honey, when you quit singing
And you put down that guitar
And you look into the future
Tell me where we are"
And I said

I see me and you on a river
A little house with a couple of chairs
Homemade chili and cold beer for dinner
We'll count the stars and the grays in our hair
And we'll spend our mornings walking with Jesus
We'll spend our evenings talking to God
Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us
Watching sunsets like it's our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I'd see me and you on a river

I'm thinking 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
And I said

I see me and you on a river
A little house with a couple of chairs
Homemade chili and cold beer for dinner
We'll count the stars and the grays in our hair
And we'll spend our mornings walking with Jesus
We'll spend our evenings talking to God
Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us
Watching sunsets like it's our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I'd see me and you on a river
Ooh

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'll paint our names on a mailbox sign
And we'll spend our mornings walking with Jesus
I'll kiss you slow when the daylight's gone
Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us
Watching sunsets like it's our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I'd see me and you on a river
Oh yeah, on a river
