On A River Lyrics

We were sittin' there on the porch on a Sunday afternoon
We were soakin' up the sun while we were waitin' on the moon
And she said, "Honey, when you quit singin' and you put down that guitar
And you look into the future, tell me where we are"

And I said, "I see me and you on a river
A little house with a couple of chairs
Homemade chilli and cold beer for dinner
We'll count the stars and the grays in our hair and
We'll spend our mornings walkin' with Jesus
We'll spend our evenings talkin' to God
Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us
Watchin' sunsets like it's our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I'd see me and you on a river"

I'm thinkin' somewhere in Montana
But hell, anywhere would do
As long as it's got your green eyes, baby, I know I'm gonna love the view
And we'll have a couple of Palominos, teach the grandkids how to fish
I know it seems like a long way off, but it's right around the bend

And I said, "I see me and you on a river
A little house with a couple of chairs
Homemade chilli and cold beer for dinner
We'll count the stars and the grays in our hair and
We'll spend our mornings walkin' with Jesus
We'll spend our evenings talkin' to God
Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us
Watchin' sunsets like it's our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I'd see me and you on a river"

Ooh

Yeah, I see me and you on a river
And when I run outta words that rhyme
You pick the spot and I'll pull the trigger
I'd paint our names on a mailbox sign
And we'll spend our mornings walkin' with Jesus
I'll kiss you slow when the daylight's gone
Close your eyes, baby, can't you see us
Watchin' sunsets like it's our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I'd see me and you on a river

Oh, yeah, on a river
