Capo 1
[Verse]
D G D
The lines on my father''s face
A D
Ran deep as creek beds on our place
G D
And the river ran right through his soul
A D
But I know at times it tooks its toll
G
When the crops would flood we lived on fish
D A D
But never did my father wish
G D
To leave the land his life flowed from
A D
The river and my dad were one
[Chorus]
Bm G
And I''m one of the river''s own
A Bm G
It''s current down inside me is strong
D A Bm
And it''s up to me to carry on
G A D
''Cause I''m one of the river''s own
[Verse]
G D
As a kid I watched the river flow
A D
Yeah, I admired the way it rocked and rolled
G D
Dad was proud I was a river rat
A D
But that''s where our common ground ended at
G
''Cause I seen those city lights downstream
D A D
And they drew me in when I was seven teen
G D
I went everywhere that river runs
A D
Yeah, me and that river we were one
[Chorus]
Bm G
And I''m one of the river''s own
A Bm G
It''s current down inside me is strong
D A Bm
And it''s up to me to carry on
G A D
''Cause I''m one of the river''s own
[Verse]
G D
Two years ago dad passed away
A D
And I''ll never forget that mournful day
G D
Then a lawyer read me out his will
A D
It said son, it''s time for you to be still
G
Then a week ago a government man
D A D
Tried to pay me off to flood our land
G D
And I did just what my dad would''ve done
A D
''Cause me and that river we are one
[Chorus]
Bm G
And I''m one of the river''s own
A Bm G
It''s current down inside me is strong

And it''s up to me to carry on
