I was swimming in a sky falling river
I was driven by the sound
I was waking up early in the morning
I was sleeping on the ground
I was walking in a crater of diamonds
I was talking to a dog
I was thinking those thoughts against anyone
I was singing a simple song
Rivers of gold
Rivers of gold
Isn't it fine
When your time
Ain't biting so
Rivers of gold
I was working in a gold rush city
I was playing in a band
We had an understanding
Only we could understand
I was making a decent living
In the Yukon Territory
Thinking of all those who came before me
I'm the one most free
Rivers of gold
Rivers of gold
Isn't it fine
When your time
Ain't biting so
Rivers of gold
I was pissing off of the mountain
Free of fear and full of loss
I was standing beside the highway
Feeling forcings' flags adjust
I was waking up early in the morning
I was sleeping on the ground
I was swimming in a sky falling river
I was driven by the sound
Rivers of gold
Rivers of gold
Isn't it fine
When your time
Ain't biting so
Rivers of gold
