THE STAGE IS SET
ANOTHER SHOW MUST GO ON
THE SPOTLIGHT'S BURNIN'
DOWN INTO MY FACE
THE DRUMMER SITS UP
HIGH UPON HIS ROSTRUM
GUITARISTS PLAY
EACH OTHER FACE TO FACE
AND WHEN IT'S OVER
I'LL STOP AND WONDER
AND NEVER UNDERSTAND
'CAUSE LEAVIN' THIS
WAS NEVER IN MY PLANS
AND WHEN I'M PLAYIN'
ALL I SEE IS
THINGS YOU'LL NEVER FIND
FLOWIN' RIVERS
PASSIN' THROUGH MY MIND
DECEIVIN' AND RECEIVIN'
WAS MY PASTIME
TO EVERY GIRL WHO
LIKED MY WRITTEN LINES
THEY'D THINK THAT ANY
MOMENT I'D BE THEIR GUY
BUT CRYIN' NEVER
JUSTIFIED MY LIES, OH NO
AND NEXT TIME 'ROUND
WILL BE THE SAME
THEY NEVER UNDERSTAND
THAT HURTIN' THEM
WAS NEVER IN MY PLANS
AND MY SONGS WILL
FLOW LIKE PASSIN' CLOUDS
SOMETHIN' IN EACH LINE
FLOWIN' RIVERS
PASSIN' THROUGH MY MIND
I'VE GOTTA GO
I'VE FINISHED WHAT I CAME FOR
PLAYIN' EVERY CITY
STATE TO STATE
SING IN EVERY TOWN
THAT LEARNED TO LIKE ME
MODEST PAYMENTS
PAID FOR WHAT I ATE
AH, YOU'RE STANDIN' THERE
TEARS IN YOUR EYES
YOU ONCE CALLED ME A MAN
AND LOVIN' YOU WAS
NEVER IN MY PLANS
AH YEAH, WE'LL GO TOGETHER
YOU AND I, 'TIL WE BOTH FIND
FLOWIN' RIVERS
PASSIN' THROUGH MY MIND
AND WE'LL GO TOGETHER
YOU AND I, 'TIL WE BOTH FIND
FLOWIN' RIVERS
PASSIN' THROUGH MY MIND
HOO-HOO!
