[00:01.41]When I was a young boy
[00:07.68]I lived for rock 'n' roll
[00:08.52]Spent our time playing gigs
[00:20.40]And traveling on the road
[00:30.09]And we didn't have much money
[00:34.71]And the gigs were sometimes rough
[00:40.71]Playing music for the people
[00:45.48]Seemed to be enough
[00:51.81]And the music is so sweet
[00:54.60]That it makes me tap my feet
[00:57.66]And my mind is very high
[01:00.75]I can almost touch the sky
[01:02.79]Now I am a young man
[01:22.20]Dressed in sparkling colored clothes
[01:30.27]A country house and sixty acres
[01:37.05]Are a heavy load
[01:42.30]And we still have no money
[01:48.90]But we have some nice things
[01:53.88]Possession is, possessions are
[02:02.61]The trait that money brings
[02:04.68]And the snowflakes are so sweet
[02:12.21]As they fall around our feet
[02:16.62]And my mind is very high
[02:18.42]I can almost feel the sky
[02:33.57]Now I am an old man
[02:38.70]Know exactly what to do
[02:48.51]Never ask a question
[02:52.05]Or ever give an answer to you
[03:06.27]And when you pass me by
[03:06.84]And you drop a penny in my hat
[03:14.73]Don't feel sorry on my account
[03:19.56]'Cause life can be like that
[03:26.04]And the music is so sweet
[03:29.82]That it makes me tap my feet
[03:35.70]And my mind is very high
[03:38.91]I can almost feel the sky
[03:53.58]And the river rolls along
[03:54.12]Like a never ever ending song
[04:08.97]And the river rolls along
[04:09.51]Like a never ever ending song

When I was a young boy
I lived for rock 'n' roll
Spent our time playing gigs
And traveling on the road
And we didn't have much money
And the gigs were sometimes rough
Playing music for the people
Seemed to be enough
And the music is so sweet
That it makes me tap my feet
And my mind is very high
I can almost touch the sky
Now I am a young man
Dressed in sparkling colored clothes
A country house and sixty acres
Are a heavy load
And we still have no money
But we have some nice things
Possession is, possessions are
The trait that money brings
And the snowflakes are so sweet
As they fall around our feet
And my mind is very high
I can almost feel the sky
Now I am an old man
Know exactly what to do
Never ask a question
Or ever give an answer to you
And when you pass me by
And you drop a penny in my hat
Don't feel sorry on my account
'Cause life can be like that
And the music is so sweet
That it makes me tap my feet
And my mind is very high
I can almost feel the sky
And the river rolls along
Like a never ever ending song
And the river rolls along
Like a never ever ending song
