(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson) I could retire on a Caterpillar tire Somewhere on a river in the great US The world slidin' by Every day is July Just tubin' down the river with my mind at rest Now man wasn't made to stay locked up in a cage And workin' all day ain't that much fun to do It's gonna come to pass I'll leave the steel and the glass Floating down the river down the tube with you Reuben Reuben let's go tubin' Won't you take me far away We could live on love forever And you know that life should be that way Now maybe tomorrow find some time I can borrow A dream just needs a window you can climb on through Don't wanna wake up some day to find that I passed away Before I floated on a river down the tube with you Floatin' down the river got my mind at rest Down a lazy river now I'm living' my best Sunshine on a river down the tube with you
