Mr. Jensen down the road
He's 67 years old
His wife is dead
And his son lives in Oregon
And the clock won't spare him nothin'
The conclusion is foregone
As he keeps on watchin' the river rollin' on
You can look outside your window
At the hustlin' of the day
But night time falls
And you know that it won't last long
One man eats beans for supper
One eats filet mignon
As he keeps on watchin' the river rollin' on
Livin' like tomorrow is a universe away
As the signs run out with the dispa**ionate young
Never yielding to the wisdom
That there ain't no Avalon
They just keep on watchin' the river rollin' on
Did you tell your wife that you love her?
Did you tell your kids the same?
Did you hold them in your arms with all your brawn?
'Cause they won't be here forever
And the next day you'll be gone
As you keep on watchin' the river rollin' on
