Roll Big River

roll big river roll let your waters flow
carry me back home so roll big river roll
left my family years ago chasing after dreams
all I found since I left home is emptiness it seems

so I'll pick up my old knapsack let these waters carry me back
to those hills of home so roll big river roll
when I get to Ashville I'll kiss that riverbed

I've been longing for so long for the place I laid my head
I can see the blue ridge mountains and the Carolina moon
I know I'll be home soon so roll big river roll
