River And The Highway - 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

As 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

And she rolls, 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

As he rolls, he’s a highway

Where he goes, time will tell

Heaven knows, she can’t go with him

And he rolls, all by himself

And he rolls, all by himself

But every now and then

He offers her a shoulder

Every now and then

She overflows

Every now and then

A bridge crosses over

It’s a moment, 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…
