Intro C 

verse 1 
C                              Am7 
Five years old, skippin’ rocks across that Cypress Creek 
F                                     C 
Mama said, “Don’t you forget, you got church shoes on your feet” 
C                               Am7 
Daddy smoked them Salems up and wore them sideburns down 
F                                       C 
My world was only as big as that little blink-and-you-miss-it town 

        F           G           C                 Am 
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time 
         F           G                 C 
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time 
         F                  G             C                 Am 
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, hangin’ on to what’s left behind 
         F           G                 C 
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time 


verse 2 
C                                Am7 
Muscle car and a leather jacket, crusin’ the main street drag 
F                                 C 
Cool as a can of Copenhagen and a six pack in a bag 
C                                    Am7 
We were all about them college girls when they came home on break 
F                                         C 
Thought those days would last forever and growin’ up would wait 

        F           G           C                 Am 
But we ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time 
         F           G                 C 
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time 
         F                  G             C                 Am 
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, hangin’ on to what’s left behind 
         F           G                 C 
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time

verse 3 
C                              Am7 
Now daddy’s in his easy chair, mama’s hairs turned grey 
F                                          C 
She laughs and says it’s all because of my young and wilder days 
C                                        Am7 
I found a girl that makes me smile, I’ll never let her go 
F                                  C 
Growin’ old don’t scare me none, I believe in streets of gold 

            F           G           C                  Am 
Just gonna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride that river of time 
         F           G                 C 
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time 
         F                  G             C                 Am 
Driftin’ on to where we’re goin’, hangin’ on to what’s left behind 
         F           G                 C 
Yeah we ride, ride, ride that river of time 
         F           G           C                 Am

Oh we ride, ride, ride that river of time
