Wild Mountain Stream

Verse 1

Well, the sun hits the pine trees, about 7:00 AM

There’s a little whirlwind breaking in the den

Light brown hair lookin’ like a bird’s nest

With a pair of brown eyes that never take a rest

He’s got dirt on his knee and a truck in his hand

He’s the loudest little, wildest little guy in the land

Chorus

Oh, run River, run, like a wild mountain stream

Chasing down the sunlight, living out a dream

With those brown eyes shining, and that hair in the wind

Four years old, look at him go again

Yeah, the world’s a big place, but he’s faster than the rain

Little River running, riding on the fast lane

Verse 2

He’ll climb up the oak tree just to say he was high

Then shout "Hey Daddy, I can almost touch the sky!"

He’s got a heart just as big as a Tennessee night

But when he tackles you, yeah, you better hold on tight

He’s a cowboy, a pirate, a wrecking ball too

But he melts you down when he says "I love you."

Chorus

Oh, run River, run, like a wild mountain stream

Chasing down the sunlight, living out a dream

With those brown eyes shining, and that hair in the wind

Four years old, look at him go again

Yeah, the world’s a big place, but he’s faster than the rain

Little River running, riding on the fast lane

He’s only four feet high, but his spirit’s ten feet tall

Ain't a fear in his heart, never worried about a fall

When the day is finally done, and the fireflies light

He’s just a sleepy little boy in the middle of the night

Chorus

Oh, run River, run, like a wild mountain stream

Chasing down the sunlight, living out a dream

With those brown eyes shining, and that hair in the wind

Four years old, look at him go again

Yeah, the world’s a big place, but he’s faster than the rain

Little River running, riding on the fast lane

Outro

Yeah, little River run...

(Light brown hair, brown eyes)

Keep on running...

Four years old, just look at him go...
