La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la
Alright
La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la

Growin’ up, it was tough
We were glad for what little we had
I saw my share of old fair, Mississippi
Dirt roads and confederate flags
Everyday my father would tell me
Son, run and don’t never come back
That’s where I left my girl
That’s where my heart is at, and oh

I held my breath when they dipped my head
Then I came up shiny and new
Found out about love in the back of my Impala
Where they laid my grandfather too
Down by the river
Where black folks gather
After Sunday service is through
How the river runs to the ocean
I’ll be runnin’ right back to you

I got along, I’m movin’ on
I bandaged the scars up well
I think of her, then I seem to wait
For a card or a letter in the mail
I walk the beach with the sand in my feet
Place my ear to a shell
I wonder if you miss me too
Coz I been longin’ to get to you
I’m sick of starin’ out my window sill
I’m tired of hopin’ she remembers me still
I’m packin’ my bags, I said I’m goin’ back home
To the place where I belong
The river
And if she’s there when I get there
I’m never gonna leave her again
You see, she stole my heart
Down by the river

I held my breath when they dipped my head
Then I came up shiny and new
Found out about love in the back of my Impala
Where they laid my grandfather too
Down by the river
Where black folks gather
After Sunday service is through
How the river runs to the ocean
I’ll be runnin’ right back to you

So I’m packin’ up my suitcase
Bought me a one-way fare
I’m leavin’ everything behind me
But in my heart I always care
And I’ll still be right there
Thank you baby
Coz nothin’ can replace that part in my life, and ..

I held my breath when they dipped my head
Then I came up shiny and new
Found out about love in the back of my Impala
Where they laid my grandfather too
Down by the river
Where black folks gather
After Sunday service is through
How the river runs to the ocean
I’ll be runnin’ right back to you

    So full of love and emotion on many levels.

  3. Lanatta Says:

    Great song, so powerfull and wonderfull love it.

  4. Chauncey Says:

    Sounds like Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes, Jaheim, and Anthony Hamilton all-in-one.

  5. LisaChea' Says:

    I enjoy this song every time I hear it. The tone is so comforting. I would hear it occasionally on radio stations but they would never say who the artist was. So I googled the lyrics today and finally. Yes, I will pick up your album. Easy listening.

  6. Terri Says:

    I finally heard this son again on Steve Harvey’s show yesterday ! I love it. I agree with Chauncey’s comment !

  7. CW Says:

    I love it. I listen to it 10 times back 2 back. This my new theme song. Got 2 get the Album. Good music

  8. Fanncie Says:

    Speechless!!!! Finally “REAL MUSIC”

  9. Terri Says:

    I loved this song since the first time I heard it. Its amazing. I have to agree with Fannice this is the real thing. We used to listen to music like this when I was growing up. Today kids have to listen to something upbeat and hard to understand to call it music.

  10. TAG Says:

    I love this song the sound is so soulful. The sound takes you back to a time when we use to have good clean fun and families would hand out in mom’s kitchen talking, laughing and just kicking it.

  11. charmaine aka spicy Says:

    i love this song it’s funny though because my grandma use to come in from work and asks me have i heard the song called ‘the river’ i look on youtube and ever since then i been loving his song .he have a great and beautiful voice and he sexy!!!!!!!

  12. Carol Says:

    I AM a grandma and this is my favorite new song. This should be played on all R&B and Pop stations to show how to sing a real song, aka ‘an anthem.’

    And bless all who recognize!

  13. Bonnie Says:

    It’s a Saturday morning, I’m driving in my just cleaned 94 Classic Caprice, feeling pretty good, heading to the market while talking to my friend. He’s switching stations looking for some real music; I hear a few bars of what I now know is “The River”. He continues to switch and I quickly asked him to ’switch it back’; now that I’ve the song in it’s entiretly I realize that I had heard not even heard half of the song initially. I couldn’t get through to the radio station to ask them - Who Was That? It’s been awhile since a song moves me this way - I’ve experienced lots of “Life” in these times, but THIS SONG RIGHT HERE, MAKES me to Feel Good! I feel your Soul Noel, Welcome to my Heart!

  14. mitchi Says:

    Baby Boy, I hope you get a grammy for this one!

  15. sapphire Says:

    God is truly wonderful, I hear it in this
    Man’s music. I play this song all day long.
    It’s like spiritual food for the soul. It
    also reminds us of tribulations we have
    endeavored in the past. We will repeat them
    if we r not careful. We need more real men.
    God Is Good.
    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOUNG MAN…….
    U R POSITIVE FOOD………

  16. Dorothy Says:

    Your voice and tone is soothing to the soul. You have a beautiful and refreshing sound.

  17. Quatia Says:

    This song is great!! I am so in love with it!! It’s absolutely beautiful..I agree that this is definetly “real music”…and I think all ages can relate to it( I am 18).

    I love the soul in this song!!!!
