[00:18.87]I've been watching the man at the bar
[00:20.36]With his head in his hands
[00:22.18]And I think to myself, "I was just like you"
[00:25.79]
[00:27.72]I can see there are times in your life
[00:29.44]When it's way too much for you
[00:31.04]The battles you wear, or the armor you choose
[00:34.90]
[00:36.37]When I first fill my lungs in the morning
[00:38.52]I try to remember to say a quiet "thank you"
[00:45.05]And if I rise with a weight in my heart
[00:47.29]I like to play myself a sweet little tune
[00:51.63]
[00:52.32]And I feel those cool rivers
[00:57.97]Washing all over me
[01:01.09]And I know these smooth rhythms
[01:06.74]Make me move my feet
[01:08.83]
[01:09.20]Oh you give me those soul shivers
[01:15.43]Taking me back to the days
[01:18.54]When music was a life-giver
[01:23.08]Make a bad man change his ways
[01:28.46]
[01:46.20]Cool rivers
[01:50.45]Soul shivers
[01:54.64]I can feel those smooth rhythms
[01:58.13]Make a bad man change
[01:59.81]A bad man change his ways
[02:02.33]
[02:02.60]I've seen men who sleep at the side of the road
[02:04.70]With a smile upon their face
[02:11.18]I heard old men sing with youth in their voice
[02:13.41]When that old-time record plays
[02:15.38]
[02:19.96]I seen young boys learning their first steps
[02:21.99]To the sound of those drum breaks
[02:28.72]And I heard the sound that accompanies
[02:30.86]So many first mistakes
[02:32.56]
[02:36.88]Still, I feel those cool rivers
[02:42.71]Washing all over me
[02:45.90]And I know these smooth rhythms
[02:51.44]Make me move my feet
[02:53.62]
[02:53.95]Oh you give me those soul shivers
[03:00.29]Taking me back to the days
[03:03.15]When music was a life-giver
[03:07.84]Make a bad man change his ways
[03:11.76]
[03:29.43]Oh, I see those cool rivers
[03:35.25]Soul shivers
[03:39.45]I can feel those smooth rhythms
[03:42.93]Make a bad man change
[03:44.69]A bad man change his ways
