Artist/Band: America
Lyrics for Song: Don't Cross The River
Lyrics for Album: Here & Now [2007]



There's a little girl out lyin' on her own

She's got a broken heart

She's not the kind to take you down for long

She knows and plays it smart



(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's shown no more

She's heard no whistle blowin' from the door

She feels like leavin' and she don't know why

Without no rhythm she's got so much style



Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side

All your life

You were on your own



If you want you can ride my train

And soon forget the reason that you're leaving

You'll lose yourself and then sometime

Maybe even save yourself some grievin'

On the wall



Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...


Don't Cross The River

Don't Cross The River stands as a reflective song in the later discography of America, appearing on their 2007 album Here & Now. Following decades of defining the soft rock and folk-rock landscape, the band continued to explore introspective themes and melodic harmonies long after their initial commercial peak. This track captures the group's enduring ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that resonate with listeners familiar with their classic hits. While the song may not carry the immediate chart dominance of their 1970s anthems, it contributes significantly to the band's extensive catalogue of thoughtful recordings. The composition reflects the mature songwriting style that has sustained America's relevance across generations, offering a moment of contemplation within a body of work celebrated for its emotional depth and musical consistency.
