to be free

The river flows, it flows to the sea.
Wherever that river goes, that's where I want to be.
Flow, river flow, let your waters wash down,
Take me from this road, to some other town.

All he wanted, was to be free,
And that's the way, it turned out to be,
Flow, river flow, let your waters wash down,
Take me from this road, to some other town.

Flow, river flow, past the shaded tree,
Go river, go, go to the sea,
Flow, to the sea.

Wherever that river goes, that's where I want to be.
Flow, river flow, let your waters wash down,
Take me from this road, to some other town.
