The River Knows
Rodney Atkins

4 a.m. comes awful early, and I was dead on my feet

But if you gonna catch a biggest fish

You gotta lose a little sleep

Well, I pack my gear and a couple beers

I headed for my favorite spot

Well, I curse my luck when I saw his truck right where I pulled off

Wish open to have the river to myself that day

'Cause the river don't talk, the river don't care

Where you've been, what you've done

Why it is your standin' there

It just flows on by whisperin' to your soul

It's gonna be alright, the river just knows

The way the sun bounced off the water

I couldn't wholely make him out

But I could see he had a fish on

A big ole rainbow trout

The fight went on forever

And as he headed down my way, I saw his

Military hair cut and the new scars on his face

Right then I knew what brought him to this place

You know the river don't talk, the river don't care

Where you've been, what you've done

Don't know why it is your standin' there

It just flows on by whisperin' to your soul

It's gonna be alright, the river just knows

He held that fish down in the water

And it caused to back the line

He said Help, you get your wind back

'Cause you help me get mine

And all I could think to say was Welcome home

But I think that river said it best on its own

'Cause the river don't talk, you know the river don't care

Where you've been, what's you've done

Why it is your standin' there

It just flows on by whisperin' to your soul

It's gonna be alright, the river just knows

It's gonna be alright, the river just knows
