Original Song: The River Don't Stop For You

Kind of a feisty break-up song for anybody who needs one. ;-) Lyrics below:

RIVER DON'T STOP FOR YOU
c. 2010 Ryan Welton

I've been a good man
A faithful provider
I've been the bad boy
When so you desire
Honey, spare me the history
Of what I put you through
'Cause the river don't stop for you

I made a wrong turn
And ended up right here
I don't amount to much,
According to you, dear
Even though nasty rumors
Are completely untrue
Oh, the river don't stop for you

CHORUS:
I'm a victim of the game
But I bear all the blame
In the eyes of a dominant woman
If there's something to regret
I could never forget
Or forgive myself for that indiscretion
But I'm innocent and able
To let the paranoia
Slide by in a moment of passion
Yet I'm growing impatient
When every other sentence refers to fictitious infractions

I call your bluff
And you call me a liar
A pantywaist, babe
Is what you require
You can feed off my fortune
And purchase a clue
'Cause the river don't stop for you

CHORUS

I've been a good man
A faithful provider
But if you come near me,
I'll set you on fire
Honey, I don't need drama
I got too much to do
The river don't stop for you

your songs are awesome. this one grooves like hell (in a good way). i especially love how you keep time by lifting your ENTIRE left leg! awesome.

@wannabechonny -- Thank you very much! I have played live several times here locally, but being a piano player, most venues want me to do a show full of covers, which -- long term -- doesn't interest me at all.

@soonerryan2000 No, I am NOT joking. Most people who make their own songs on YouTube have an amateur vibe, but when heard this I figured it was a proffesional musician who made a channel for fun, but when I saw only a few hundred views, I could not understand how that could be! Then I realized that your a bright mind who wants to share your music with the world. Have you played in clubs, restaurant, concerts, because you definetely could. Amazing, I just adore your work.
