Lyrics
I'd finally found my golden ticket
A ferry ride to western skies
I left my home and the life I loved
To become a man that I could be proud of
I sat beside this older fella
I guess he saw the fool in me
I didn't pay for his advice
But whiskey wisdom's poured out over ice
And he said
High hopes
And low expectations
That's what you'll need to keep movin' on
And headed straight
There'll be
Good days and bad days
But Old Man River keeps on rollin'
Through fields and pines
He always finds his way
And if you keep on
You'll do the same
I shook the hand of the wise old stranger
I thanked him for the conversation
And I heard
All aboard, full steam ahead
It's time to leave for the promised land
As time's flown by, I've grown old
I rode the backs of my wildest dreams
Life didn't always work out right
But you can bet I'll sure sleep good tonight
'Cause I have
High hopes
And low expectations
That's what it took to keep movin' on
And headed straight
There were
Good days and bad days
But Old Man River kept on rollin'
Through fields and pines
I always found my way
And if you keep on
You'll do the same
