I've been watching the man at the bar With his head in his hands And I think to myself, "I was just like you" I can see there are times in your life When it's way too much for you The battles you wear, or the armor you choose When I first fill my lungs in the morning I try to remember to say a quiet "thank you" And if I rise with a weight in my heart I like to play myself a sweet little tune And I feel those cool rivers Washing all over me And I know these smooth rhythms Make me move my feet Oh you give me those soul shivers Taking me back to the days When music was a life-giver Make a bad man change his ways Cool rivers Soul shivers I can feel those smooth rhythms Make a bad man change, a bad man change his ways I've seen men who sleep at the side of the road SongtexteWith a smile upon their face I heard old men sing with youth in their voice When that old-time record plays I seen young boys learning their first steps To the sound of those drum breaks And I heard the sound that accompanies So many first mistakes Still, I feel those cool rivers Washing all over me And I know these smooth rhythms Make me move my feet Oh you give me those soul shivers Taking me back to the days When music was a life-giver Make a bad man change his ways Oh, I see those cool rivers Soul shivers I can feel those smooth rhythms Make a bad man change, a bad man change his ways Aus Songtexte Mania
