We
were sitting there on the porch
on a Sunday afternoon
We were soaking up the sun while we were waiting on the moon
And she said,
honey when you quit singing And you put down that guitar
And you look into the future Tell me where we are
And I said,
I see me and you on a river A little house with a couple of chairs
Homemade chili and cold beer for dinner We'll
count the stars and the grays in our hair
We'll spend the mornings walking with Jesus
We'll spend our evenings talking to God
Close your eyes baby can't you see
us Watching sunsets like it's our job
I thought we could paint a perfect
picture I see me and you on a river
I'm thinking somewhere in Montana But hell anyway we do
As long as it's got your green eyes
baby I know I'm gonna love the view
And we'll have a couple of palominas Teach the grandkids how to fish
I know it seems like a long way off But it's right around the bend
And I said,
I see me and you on a river A little house with a couple of chairs
Homemade chili and cold beer for dinner
We'll count the stars and the grays in our
hair We'll spend the mornings walking with Jesus
We'll spend our evenings talking to God
Close your eyes baby can't you see us
Watching sunsets like it's our job I thought
we could paint a perfect picture
I see me and you on a river
I see me and you on a river The winter run out of words around
You pick the spot and I pull the trigger
I paint our names on a mailbox sign
We'll spend our mornings walking with Jesus
I'll kiss you slow when the daylight's gone
Close your eyes baby can't you see
us Watching sunsets like it's our job
I thought we could paint a perfect
picture I see me and you on a river
Oh,
yeah,
on a river
