Will Walton – Riverboat Lyrics

VERSE 1
Never been a pawn in the ways of the world
Never been a diamond, always been a coal
Wouldn’t know what to do with a pearl
Never been one to ride on the coats of a lie
So I’ll tell you in the words of a beating heart
That longs to hold you tonight

CHORUS 1
Ride me like a riverboat, rolling away
Never ever knowing where we’re going today
Ride me like a riverboat, I want to be your man
We’ll be living like a child, just having our way
Splashing in the water on a beautiful day
Ride me like a riverboat, I want to be your man

VERSE 2
Never been a gambler who waits on his cards to be dealt
Always been the one with my hands on the wheel
Never been a notch on a belt
Never been one to tell the world how I feel
But I’ve never met another quite like you
And I don’t ever believe that I will

CHORUS 2

VERSE 3
Never lived a life of wondering what comes next
Always been the keeper of my own fate
I’ve always known what to expect
Never been one to put my heart on the line
Never put myself in someone else’s shoes
And I’m thinking that maybe it’s time

CHORUS 3

VERSE 4
Never been an open book anyone could read
Never been one to follow in the steps
Always been the one in the lead
Never been the one to open the door to my heart
I threw away the key along time ago
But I’m willing to break down the bars

CHORUS 4
