The Cooley Gang - Heartbeat River

Momma stepped in the river when I was a babe
She baptised me right there in a fresh water wave
A little bit of that water got trapped in my heart
Now my heartbeat and the river, I can't tell them apart

Daddy won't you take me back down steep canyon creek
The big pine, the deep pool, and the eddy line so sweet
When the line hit the water it ripped through my soul
The trout took that fly lord it took me back home

The crick, the creek, the river, and the run
They all flow through me like the earth needs the sun
Big Muddy stops flowing I'll shrivel up and die
Let the water flow around me wild and high

The flows so deep but I thurst for the cup
Clear, black, and blue lord I can't get enough
Keep it cool keep it clean no boil no blood
Let the water flow around me and my soul will flood

The crick, the creek, the river, and the run
They all flow through me like the earth needs the sun
Big Muddy stops flowing I'll shrivel up and die
Let the water flow around me wild and high
