The River And The Highway Lyrics - Pam Tillis

She follows the path of least resistance 

She doesn't care to see the mountain top 

She twists and turns with no regard to distance 

She never comes to a stop 

And she rolls, she's a river 

Where she goes, time will tell 

Heaven knows, he can't go with her 

And she rolls, all by herself, all by herself 

He's headed for a single destination 

He doesn't care what's standing in his path 

He's a line between two points of separation 

He ends just where it says to on the map 

And he rolls, he's on highway 

Where he goes, time will tell 

Heaven knows, she can't go with him 

And he rolls, all by himself, all by himself 

But every now and then, he offers her a shoulder 

And every now and then she overflows 

And every now and then a bridge crosses over 

It's a moment that every lover knows 

As she rolls 

(And he rolls) 

She's a river 

(He's a highway) 

Where she goes 

(Where he goes) 

Time will tell 

Heaven knows 

She can't go with him 

(He can't go with her) 

And she rolls, all by herself 

And he rolls, all by himself 

Fare the well
