I was a cowboy in the wild west
I rode for ninety days without a rest
A swig of whiskey and a thought of you
Were the only things that got me through
You'll be with me wherever rivers roll
You'll be with me wherever wind still blows
I was a pilot in a world war
Taking fire off a foreign shore
A cigarette and photograph of you
were the only things that got me through
You'll be with me wherever rivers roll
You'll be with me wherever wind still blows
I was a singer in a touring band
With nothing going quite the way I planned
A pint of beer and then a call to you
Were the only things that got me through
You'll be with me wherever rivers roll
You'll be with me wherever wind still blows
