Big River Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life is like a big river
Sinkin' or swim, depends on you
You can take or you can be a giver
If you got love you're gonna get through

[Verse 2]
Once a good woman loved me, yeah
Kinda cruel, and she left me one day
Now I'm cyin', she loves another
Gotta go alone the rest of the way

[Verse 3]
Take the advice of a loser
Who's been livin' too long alone
Follow your heart, follow your rainbow
And you're gonna find you are not alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
