Follow a dream and life ain't what it seems
it's hard to believe that you can't know it all
when life is a stage and we're all living plays
where will you be when the curtain falls?

When you're tired of living life on the line
come and take a walk with me
when you can't pretend that everything is fine
you'll make it

[Chorus]:
Hey, follow me down; the river sits just outside of town
if you're looking for things that you haven't found
hey, follow me down; not everything lies on solid ground
and maybe you'll find if you come around it'll come around

When life is a thrill but all against your will
a moment to breathe can help to ease those blues
one minute you're fine, the next you're doing time
paying the fees on someone else's dues

And in the evening when the lamps are burning high
and the oil's running low
just call my name and take a walk outside
you'll make it

[Chorus]

Don't waste your time working so hard for your survival

When you're tired of making sense of it all

without a dime to spare

tired of tying up your pictures on the wall,

and breaking

[Chorus]
