"One hopeful road that my Mamma showed to me from the moment I first standed I didn't know Back there and then she released me free From that patched up shackle down my Pa was handed She said Tyrone Go be the King you're meant to be Like a stone roll on your mission Hurry now son There are songs need to be sung And you're the one to which the heart it is releasin' Mother said run Baby Run Go ahead run Baby run Mother said run Baby run Run like the river As wheels do turn Is how I go you all sure should know As flames do burn I am ignited Towards the wind With squinted eyes I look ahead 'Cos in the end they're all behind me long been ridin' Mother said run Baby Run Go ahead run Baby run Mother said run Baby run Run like the river Like the river Mother said run Baby Run Go ahead run Baby run Mother said run Baby run Run like the river Run like the river Run like the river Run like the river"
