Lyrics:

Oh the river knows your name
?And your tears falling like the rain?
All around you suffering and pain
?Oh the river knows your name
??
And the river hears you cry
?As the lightning cracks the open sky
?As your Momma sings a lullaby
?Oh the river she knows why ??

Let the river wash you down?
Beneath the surface with a rushing sound?
Like a freight train passing through a town
?Let the river wash you down

??Let the river take away?
All the words you and I could never say
?In the silence Darling let us pray?
Let the river take it all away ??

Oh the river she knows your name
?From the Brazos to the Wabash to the Seine
?No two journeys are ever quite the same
?But the river knows your name?
Oh the river knows your name
