Bill Anderson Lyrics for Song: Gonna Shine It on Again
 Lyrics for Album: Bill [MCA] [1973]
 
 
 
 39961>(Jim Weatherly)
 
 
 
 There's just no way to tie a river down
 
 No way to hold back the wind
 
 Rain is gonna fall where it wants to fall
 
 And like the sun I'm gonna shine it on again.
 
 
 
 The only life I've ever known is driftin' a little
 
 Somethin' I've picked up from my dad
 
 Watchin' the sunset from a town he'd never been
 
 Was the only dream he ever had.
 
 
 
 I guess this way of life rubbed off on me
 
 'Cause when I stay in one place too long
 
 I start to hear the strains of a distant melody
 
 And I'm off to sing that old highway song.
 
 
 
 There's just no way to tie a river down
 
 No way to hold back the wind
 
 Rain is gonna fall where it wants to fall
 
 And like the sun I'm gonna shine it on again.
 
 
 
 Once I met a girl in Colorado
 
 And I thought for a change I'd settled down
 
 But just when I thought I would make it
 
 I was on the highway leadin' out of town.
 
 
 
 'Cause wonderin' where that long road would take me
 
 Has it's own special brand of charm
 
 And it doesn't matter how much I'd like to
 
 I can't stay too long in one pair of arms.
 
 
 
 There's just no way to tie a river down
 
 No way to hold back the wind
 
 Rain is gonna fall where it wants to fall
 
 And like the sun I'm gonna shine it on again.
 
 
 
 There's just no way to tie a river down
 
 No way to hold back the wind
 
 Rain is gonna fall where it wants to fall
 
 And like the sun I'm gonna shine it on again...
