This River Is Wild Lyrics - Sam's Town - The Killers

Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground 

I heard a story from the man in red 

He said the leaves are fallin' down 

Such a beautiful sound 

Son, I think you'd better go ahead 

But you always hold your head up high 

'Cause it's a long, long, long way down 

This town was meant for passing through 

Boy, it ain't nothin' new 

Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round 

But it's a long, long, long way down 

You better run for the hills 

Before they burn 

Listen to the sound of the world 

Don't watch it turn 

I just want to show you what I know 

And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I just get along with myself? 

I never did get along with everybody else 

I've been tryin' hard to do what's right 

But you know I could stay here all night 

And watch the clouds fall from the sky 

This river is wild 

This river is wild 

Run for the hills before they burn 

Listen to the sound of the world 

Don't watch it turn 

But shake a little 

Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk 

I shake a little 

Sometimes I hate the line I walk 

I just wanna show you what I know 

And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I just get along with myself? 

I never did get along with everybody else 

I've been trying hard to do what's right 

But you know I could stay here all night 

And watch the clouds fall from the sky 

Because this river is wild 

Godspeed ya, boy 

This river is wild 

Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom 

Because that bitch keeps tryin' to make him pray 

He's with the hippie in the park coming over the dark 

Just tryin' to get some of that little girl-play 

You better run for the hills before they burn 

Listen to the sound of the world 

Don't watch it turn 

I just want to show you what I know 

And catch you when the current lets you go 

Or should I get along with myself? 

I never did get along with everybody else 

I've been tryin' hard to do what's right 

But you know I could stay here all night 

And watch the clouds fall from the sky 

The pain is hell in me tonight 

Because this river is wild 

Godspeed ya, boy 

This river is wild 

This river is wild 

Godspeed ya, boy 

This river is wild 

Now the cars are everywhere 

Raisin' dust at the fairground 

I don't think I ever seen so many headlights 

But there's somethin' pullin' me 

The circus and the crew 

Well they're just passin' through 

Makin' sure the merry still goes round 

But it's a long, long, long way down
