Artist/Band: Randy Travis
Lyrics for Song: Pick Up the Oars and Row
Lyrics for Album: Passing Through [2004]



What good does it do to hold on to

The anger deep in your heart

You're the only one that it's hurtin'

You're the one that it's tearin' apart.



I'm sorry that he broke your heart, girl

But it's time to let it go.

Sometimes love is a river of tears

So pick up the oars and row.



He shattered your expectations

He broke all his promises too

With his little white lies he looked in your eyes

And made you believe they were true.



Ah, but this ain't the final curtain

Girl, It's time to get on with the show

Sometimes love is a river of tears

So pick up the oars and row.



It's been too long now

Since I've seen you smile

Bitterness don't look good on you

And self-pity just ain't your style.



Sooner or later you know

You've got to play the cards you've drawn

It's all up to you. you can stay blue

Or you can move on.



Ain't it hard when you discover

Things ain't what you thought they would be

When all of your best laid plans

Hit the wall of reality.



Still all in all it's a good life

But it sure can be painful, I know

Sometimes love is a river of tears

So pick up the oars and row.



--- Instrumental ---



Sometimes love is a river of tears

So pick up the oars and row...
