WE
GREW UP ON THE RIVER, MY BUDDIES AND ME

GROWIN' UP ON THE RIVER, RUNNIN' WILD AND FREE
E7

IT
KIND OF MAKES YOU CRAZY, BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT BY ME
E B Bb - A
GROWIN'
UP ON THE RIVER
E B Bb - A
GROWIN'
UP ON THE RIVER
E
SO
HAPPILY
E
CRUSIN'
WITH MY BABY, ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
E
LISTNIN'
TO SOME MUSIC, HAS MY ATTITUDE RIGHT
E7 A
I KNOW
SHE'S SAYIN' "NEVER", BUT I THINK SHE MIGHT
E B Bb - A
GROWIN'
UP ON THE RIVER
E B Bb - A
GROWIN'
UP ON THE RIVER
E
SHE'LL
SEE THE LIGHT
E
NOW
WE'RE PUSHIN' FORTY, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SLOW DOWN
E
AT
LEAST THAT'S WHAT THEY TELL US, BUT WE STILL GET AROUND
E7 A
I KNOW
WE'LL NEVER GROW UP, STILL THE TALK OF THE TOWN
E B Bb - A
GROWIN'
UP ON THE RIVER
E B Bb - A
GROWIN'
UP ON THE RIVER
E
WE'RE
STILL AROUND
