The River Lyrics

Lyric discussion by SweetestSiren 

Cover art for The River lyrics by Garth Brooks

This was my favorite song for the majority of my childhood. Even though I listen to rock and punk more now, I guess I'll always be a country girl at heart. The message in this song is that you should follow your dreams, even though there's a chance of being hurt. So don't stand on the shoreline... take a chance in the river and see where you get, basically.
