Roll On, Big River

I hit my only home run when I was 10 Never felt quite that pure again Roll on big river roll on We got married in 81 Never knew a kid could have so much fun Roll on big river roll on Roll on big river let your waters roll on by Roll on big river never going to figure out why The twins came along in 82 They were so much smarter than me and you In 85 your mama died and then my dad Never knew life could be so sad One day I heard the words I never wanted to hear Doctor said you only had about a year The kids are long grown up and moved away It's me and the pigeons and the park each day
