You Can Ride the River With Me
Bob Marshall  Copyright 2007

Like a green broke colt trying to learn all the cues,
I’m trying to learn all there is about you.
When to pull up and whoa,
When to get up and go
I’m just trying to learn all the cues
I’m just trying to learn all the cues

In the past I’ve been kinda cinchy at best
I’ve been poorly ridden and put away wet
So if I get balky just soften your hand
And I’ll make every effort to understand
I’m just trying to learn all the cues
I’m just trying to learn all the cues

CHORUS:
If it seems at times I’m between hay and grass
I’m not quite the crow bait I seem
I’m game to try and willing to work
You can ride the river with me
You can ride the river with me

I’ll give up an ear to hear what you say
 ‘cause I’m willing to learn in a gentler way
My ground manners may need some sharpenin’ yet
But, I’ll try to be just as good as they get
I’m just trying to learn all the cues
I’m just trying to learn all the cues

CHORUS:
If it seems at times I’m between hay and grass
I’m not quite the crow bait I seem
I’m game to try and willing to work
You can ride the river with me
You can ride the river with me
You can ride the river with me
You can ride the river with me
