Robert Palmer – River Boat lyrics
(Alan Toussaint)

Time dies tryin' to fly by
Got a grain of love in my eye
And if I ???????
Tryin' to beat each other if they can

But that river boat keeps on chuggin'
While we keep on kissin' and huggin'
We got love, we got love

Big wheels just keep on turnin'
And the fires just keep on burnin'
Love keeps on gowin'
Yeah river just keep on flowin'

Time dies tryin' to fly by
Got a grain of love in my eye
Opportunity knockin'
Big boat keep on rockin'
That river boat keep on chuggin' chuggin'
We just need to keep on kissin' and huggin'

We got love, we got love, yes we do

Big boat just keep on chuggin'
We just keep on kissin' and huggin'
We got love, yes we do, we got love
Don't you know that river boat it keeps on chuggin'
We just need to keep on kissin and huggin'
We got love
