The River And The Wind - Lyrics - Tanya Tucker

Tanya Denise Tucker is an American female country music artist who had her first hit, "Delta Dawn", in 1972 at the age of 13. Over the succeeding decades, Tucker became one of the few child performers to mature into adulthood without losing her audience, and during the course of her career, she notched a streak of Top 10 and Top 40 hits. She has had several successful albums, several Country Music Association award nominations, and hit songs such as 1973's "What's Your Mama's Name?" and "Blood Red and Goin' Down," 1975's "Lizzie and the Rainman," and 1988's "Strong Enough to Bend".

I seemed to know right from the start Where I was goin' and how far Like the river as she flows I just always seemed to know But you were born beneath the restless moon Your heart still sings a wanderin' tune Like the wind cannot be bound, oh Walls would only tie you down For awhile we traveled In the same directions But parted before the journey's end I stayed within my boundaries You sailed toward open skies Like the river and the wind Like the river and the wind I always flowed between the lines You followed roads that had no signs The river knows where she belongs, yeah The wind, he never finds a home For awhile we traveled In the same directions But parted before the journey's end I stayed within my boundaries You sailed toward open skies Like the river and the wind Like the river and the wind For awhile we traveled In the same directions But parted before the journey's end I stayed within my boundaries You sailed toward open skies Like the river and the wind Like the river and the wind
