[Verse 1]
CAm7
Five years old, skippin’ rocks across that Cypress Creek
FC
Mama said, “Don’t you forget, you got church shoes on your feet”
CAm7
Daddy smoked them Salems up and wore them sideburns down
FC
My world was only as big as that little blink-and-you-miss-it town
[Chorus]
FGCAm
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
FGC
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
FGCAm
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, hangin’ on to what’s left behind
FGC
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
[Verse 2]
CAm7
Muscle car and a leather jacket, crusin’ the main street drag
FC
Cool as a can of Copenhagen and a six pack in a bag
CAm7
We were all about them college girls when they came home on break
FC
Thought those days would last forever and growin’ up would wait
[Chorus]
FGCAm
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
FGC
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
FGCAm
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, hangin’ on to what’s left behind
FGC
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time

[Verse 3]
CAm7
Now daddy’s in his easy chair, mama’s hairs turned grey
FC
She laughs and says it’s all because of my young and wilder days
CAm7
I found a girl that makes me smile, I’ll never let her go
FC
Growin’ old don’t scare me none, I believe in streets of gold
[Chorus]
FGCAm
Just gonna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
FGC
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
FGCAm
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, hangin’ on to what’s left behind
FGC
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time
FGCAm
Yeah we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time
FGC
Oh we ride, ride, ride that river of time
