River City Lights Songtext / Lyric

I met her down In Tennessee

She went by the name of Amelie

she was a character anyone could see

she had eyes just for me



Time will fly and the summer would end

and I will never see her again

and I hear thunder in my head

when I wonder where she is



And the river runs

through a town

and all of the stars out

they're out tonight

she's up on the rooftop

lookin' down

just staring at the river lit up with the city lights






And I roll on years gone by

the sun goes down on another sky

and there is no where I'd rather be

and there is no one I'd rather see



Where the river runs

through a town

and all the stars out

out tonight

she's up on a rooftop

lookin' down

just starin' down at the river with the city lights



I shouldn't have been so torn up inside

From losing what is hard to find

But that's just the way

The way it goes sometimes

The way it goes sometimes
