I'll never reach my destination if I never try so I will sail my vessel 'till the river runs dry Trying to learn from what's behind you never knowing what's in store makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shoresĪnd I will sail my vessel 'till the river runs dry like a bird upon the wind these water's are my sky You know a dream is like a river ever changing as it flows and the dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes Hurry up, won't you put her on the line I gotta talk to the girl just one more time Hello, Samantha dear I hope you're feelin' fine and it won't be long until I'm with you all the time but until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime callin' Baton Rouge Hurry up, won't you put her on the line I gotta talk to the girl just one more time. Operator, won't you put me on through I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge Such a strange combination of a woman and a child such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles callin' Baton RougeĪ replay of last night's events roll through my mind except a scene or two erased by sweet red wine and I see a truck stop sign ahead so I change lanes I need a cup of coffee and couple dollars change I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana and though I'm out on the highway my thoughts are still with her I was the last one You thought you'd see thereĪnd I told her that we'd cross that bridge Slowing down she's jumping in hey Mom your daughter's gone They say she's grounded 'til she's dead well here he comes around the bend Six o'clock on Saturday her folks don't know he's on his way the stalls are clean and the horses fed Going 'round the world in a pickup truck ain't goin' down 'till the sin comes up Yeah ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up ain't givin' in until they get enough One o'clock that truck is rocking two is coming still no stoppingīreak to check the clock at three they're right on where they wanna beĪnd four o'clock get up get going five o'clock the rooster's crowing Ten to twelve is wine and dancing midnight starts the hard romancing Going 'round the world in a pickup truck ain't goin' down 'till the sun comes up Grab a bite to eat and then they're headin' to the honky tonk but loud crowds and line dancingĭrive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek and whre it's george Strait 'til real lateĪin't goin' down 'til the sun comes up ain't givin' in until they get enough She knows he's anticipating but she's gonna keep him waiting Nine o'clock the show is ending but the fun is just beginning Girl you better get your red head back in bed before the morning Mama's on the front porch screamin' out her warning Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo Local country station just a blarin' on the radio 'Till she hears the screen door slamming rubber squealin' gears a jamming Six o'clock on Friday evening Mama doesn't know she's leaving
