Same Ol' River - Live

Wish that I could be an Indian
 On a painted pony so fast
 No one could ever catch me
 Or get caught up in my past
 I'd ride across many rivers
 Use many moons to tell the times
 Then I'd tell all the young warriors
 Many moons ago this was mine, all mine
 Same ol' river, same ol' sea
 Same ol' waters rushing over me
 Same ol' Moon, same ol' Sun
 Same ol' race that we've always run
 Same ol' race that we've always run
 ♪
 Wish that I could be a pirate
 I'd like to sail the ocean blue
 Way before them big liners
 Started sailing them too
 I'd bury most of my treasure
 So I would leave a big hole
 And the only real sense of pleasure that I'd get
 Is sailin' free in my soul
 Same ol' river, same ol' sea
 Same ol' waters rushing over me
 Same ol' Moon, same ol' Sun
 Same ol' race that we've always run
 Same ol' race that we've always run
 ♪
 Wish that I could be a slave
 Doesn't really matter what kind
 I'd sing a song for fallen angels
 Try and be free in my mind
 Then, when no one wasn't lookin'
 Well, I'd drop my heartless plow
 I'd find my own contemporaries
 And I'd wipe the shame from their brow
 Same ol' river, same ol' sea
 Same ol' waters rushing over me
 Same ol' Moon, same ol' Sun
 Same ol' race that we've always run
 Same ol' race that we've always run
 Y'all know Jerry Douglas?
 ♪
 Wish that I could be an outlaw
 Runnin' from the law sometimes
 No vigilante against the seasons
 But I can't help but read why
 I'd always keep my revolver
 Steady and fast at my side
 And I'd rob a train bound for glory
 'Cause I thought I needed a ride
 Same ol' river, same ol' sea
 Same ol' waters rushing over me
 Same ol' Moon, same ol' Sun
 Same ol' race that we've always run
 Same ol' race that we've always run
 So many things I ain't never done, yeah!
