John Mellencamp — To the River

[Verse 1] They are master and slave We are sunlight and shadow All roads to the river I am lost, I am saved I'm beloved and betrayed All roads to the river [Chorus] And the river runs wide And the river runs deep And I spit in the eye of safe company When I dive right down to the undertow Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I'll go [Verse 2] I am whispering dreams I am howling revolutions All roads to the river I am valentine sweet And I live in this nightmare All roads to the river [Chorus] And the river runs wide And the river runs deep (Runs Deep) And I spit in the eye of safe company When I dive right down (Right down) To the undertow (Undertow) Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I'll go [Verse 3] This is nothing like we planned That's the way it's always been All roads to the river I have hated and I have loved I have prayed and I have sinned All roads to the river [Chorus] And the river runs wide And the river runs deep (And the river runs Deep) And I spit in the eye of safe company When I dive right down (Right down) To the undertow (Undertow) Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I will go
