Lyrics:

\\n

Out the front door

\\n

The melting snow

\\n

Would turn our creek into a river

\\n

\\n

Now from the airplane

\\n

I catch a glimpse

\\n

Of the Mississippi

\\n

And my young self asks me

\\n

If we\\u2019re doing all right

\\n

\\n

When the pressure of living

\\n

Is too much for the wine

\\n

I turn to the water

\\n

\\u2018Cause none of our failings

\\n

Can worry my mind

\\n

To the point where a river can\\u2019t soothe me

\\n

\\n

Out the front door

\\n

The melting snow

\\n

Would turn our creek into a river

\\n

And brave explorers

\\n

Could sail the globe

\\n

And still be home in time for dinner

\\n

\\n

Now from the hotel

\\n

I hear the song

\\n

Of the mighty frozen Mississippi

\\n

\\u201cUnder ice and trouble

\\n

We will roll along

\\n

Bring me your burdens

\\n

For all that you\\u2019ve earned them

\\n

There are no shoulders broader than mine

\\n

\\n

When the pressure of living

\\n

Is too much for your wine

\\n

Turn to my water

\\n

\\u2018Cause none of y\\u2019all\\u2019s failings

\\n

Should worry your mind

\\n

To the point where this river can\\u2019t soothe you\\u201d

\\n

\\n

When the pressure of living

\\n

Is too much for the wine

\\n

I turn to the water and choose

\\n

To believe that no failing

\\n

Can worry my mind

\\n

To the point where this river can\\u2019t soothe me
