Blue river blues

I'd rather be outside

Here i am inside

Watching it rain



Blue river blues

I'd rather be somewhere

Here i am nowhere

Watching it rain



Some people like that downhill stuff

They like it fast and breezy

Some people walk on the other side

They like it slow and easy



Some people run on a mountain trail

Some like it wild and rough

Some like to fly and some like to sail

Some like the downhill stuff



There's work in what we practice

Work in the things we say

Sometime we work just to try to make a livin'

Or we're workin' just to make it pay



Sometimes we're tryin' to work our will

But that won't work anyway

I only know that i'm workin' still

Just to get another chance to play



Some people like that downhill stuff

They like it fast and breezy

Some people walk on the other side

They like it slow and easy



Some people run on a mountain trail

Some like it wild and rough

Some like to fly and some like to sail

Some like the downhill stuff



Keep a movin' in a forward direction

Like a river rollin' down to the sea

If you wanna make different selection

Honey let yourself go with gravity



Oh everybody's lookin' for heaven

Everybody's lookin' for hope

Everybody lookin' for higher and higher

But nobody wants to be lookin' alone



Everybody's tryin' to get down to it

Everybody's tryin' to sing

Whatever it is we're all gonna do it

But whatever we do

We gotta do our own thing



Some people like that downhill stuff

They like it fast and breezy

Some people walk on the other side

They like it slow and easy



Some people run on a mountain trail

Some like it wild and rough

Some like to fly and some like to sail

Some like the downhill stuff
