Lyric

River’s running fast tonight

Moon is cutting silver light

Calvin hits that rolling line—

Feels like lightning down the spine

Engine humming, wheels in time

Highway bends like an old folk rhyme

Lost that love I can’t outrun

So I chase it down the Big River Run

Every mile is turning quick

Heartbeats jumping, rhythm thick

I’m not looking back to see—

The river keeps on pushing me

Big River Run

Faster than the setting sun

Kick the dust, don’t slow me down—

I’m burning through this southern town

Big River Run

Still the hurt weighs a ton

But Calvin’s groove keeps driving on—

Till the night and I are one

Neon flashing on the dash

Cold wind hits me in a flash

Every memory stings like fire

Every chord pulls me higher

Earl’s slide cuts like morning rain

Rex digs in with blazing flame

Tommy’s clean tone lights the shore

And the river says “run some more.”

Every mile is turning quick

Heartbeats jumping, rhythm thick

I’m not looking back to see—

The river keeps on pushing me

Big River Run

Faster than the setting sun

Kick the dust, don’t slow me down—

I’m burning through this southern town

Big River Run

Still the hurt weighs a ton

But Calvin’s groove keeps driving on—

Till the night and I are one

Let the rhythm take control

Let it cleanse a tortured soul

River winds and winding roads—

Take the weight of heavy loads

Big River Run

Ride until the pain is done

Faster than a heartbreak’s drum—

I keep rolling, never numb

Big River Run

Till I find the rising sun

Calvin’s bass keeps pushing on—

Where the river and I are one
