Verse: Some people love the desert sand - Been there done that - Others they can’t get by - Without a city skyline - That’s their jam, it’s just not mine - Take me through the trees - Where the canyons part - There’s a river running straight to my heart - Won’t you take me there!

Chorus: I want to live by - Rushing water - A river, a creek, a stream - That’s my dream - I’ll build my home by - Rushing water - That’s my dream - That’s my dream - I’ll keep on trying - Til the day I die - To find - That rushing water

Verse: I’ve lived a whole lot of days where - I can’t find no air - Surrounded all around me - By streets and concrete - Not what I want, not what I need - Take me through the trees - Where the canyons part - There’s a river running straight to my heart - Won’t you take me there! 

Chorus: I want to live by - Rushing water - A river, a creek, a stream - That’s my dream - I’ll build my home by - Rushing water - That’s my dream - That’s my dream - I’ll keep on trying - Til the day I die - To find - That rushing water

Chorus: I want to live by - Rushing water - A river, a creek, a stream - That’s my dream - I’ll build my home by - Rushing water - That’s my dream - That’s my dream - I’ll keep on trying - Til the day I die - To find - That rushing water
