A River Keeps Running (When A Good Man Dies)

I was driving in my truck to a Downtown bar
I heard the sound of a siren from an LcPD car
It'd been raining for weeks and the waters were high
I thought the River keeps running when a good man dies
The River keeps running when a good man dies
I say Nick Cage is the last true Hollywood star
cnd I wish I was him as I play my guitar
Yeah I wish I was famous gifted and wise
But a river keeps running when a good man dies
c river keeps running when a good man dies

One Sunday morning as I sat on my porch
I smiled at the Christians on their way to a church
They read me a blessing with a curse in their eyes
But a river keeps running when a good man dies
c river keeps running when a good man dies
Some pray for Heaven and some dream of Hell
Some learn a lesson that I know too well
The thief says you stole and the Truthsayer lies
But a river keeps running when a good man dies
c river keeps running when a good man dies
c river keeps running when a good man dies

Pour me a mescal and I'll drink it straight
You were a rascal and now you've met your fate
I won't go piss on your grave but I won't eulogize
For a river keeps running when a good man dies
c river keeps running when a good man dies
c river keeps running when a good man dies
c river keeps running when a good man dies
c river keeps running when a good man dies
