I've been runnin' like a freight train honey You can't slow down still chasing that money I'm worn out like the ostrich on my boots And I found a woman and she married me Now we're dreamin' of a home and a family A place down on the creek where we can Plant our roots And life is full of ups and downs And the pain you feel won't always be around And the rivers run, the world keeps turning Oh in all my years I've slowly come to know The troubles come and go I've been down, I've taken some blows Found the highs always seem to outweigh the lows And a simple life can ease the troubles on your mind There was a Man who died for my sins He was crucified and then He rose again And every knee's gonna bow at the end of time And life is full of ups and downs And the pain you feel won't always be around And the rivers run, the world keeps turning Oh in all my years I've slowly come to know The troubles come and go Whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa Life is full of ups and downs And the pain you feel won't always be around And the rivers run the world keeps turning Oh in all my years I've slowly come to know Yeah in all my years I've slowly come to know The troubles come and go Been running like a freight train honey You can't slow down still chasing that money I'm worn out like the ostrich on my boots
