Lyrics

Well you can go wherever you please
The Mississippi still flowing down towards New Orleans
And you can try to paddle upstream
But I know the river ain't gonna change for me

I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I have been
The river keeps on flowing
And I fear I'm sinking in
And still I'm searching for an answer
But I can't go back again
The river keeps on flowing
Until the bitter end

Well you can go wherever you please
You'll end up in the mud the same as me
and you can try to paddle upstream
But every river leads back to the sea

I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I have been
The river keeps on flowing
And I fear I'm sinking in
And still I'm searching for an answer
But I can't go back again
The river keeps on flowing
Until the bitter end

I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I have been
The river keeps on flowing
And I fear I'm sinking in
And still I'm searching for an answer
But I can't go back again
The river keeps on flowing
Until the bitter end
