On A River Lyrics by Thomas Rhett
We were sittin’ there on the porch
On a Sunday afternoon
We were soakin’ up the sun while we
Were waitin’ on the moon
And she said, “Honey, when you quit singin’
And you put down that guitar
And you look into the future
Tell me where we are”
And I said, “I see me and you on a river
A little house with a couple of chairs
Homemade chilli and cold beer for dinner
We’ll count the stars and the grey in our hair and
We’ll spend our mornings walkin’ with Jesus
Spend our evenings talkin’ to God
Close your eyes, baby, can’t you see us
Watchin’ sunsets like it’s our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I see me and you on a river”
I’m thinkin’ somewhere in Montana
Hell, anywhere would do
As long as it’s got your green eyes, baby
I know I’m gonna love the view
We’ll have a couple of [?]
Teach grandkids how to fish
I know it seems like a long way off
But it’s right around the bend
And I said, “I see me and you on a river
A little house with a couple of chairs
Homemade chilli and cold beer for dinner
We’ll count the stars and the grey in our hair and
We’ll spend our mornings walkin’ with Jesus
Spend our evenings talkin’ to God
Close your eyes, baby, can’t you see us
Watchin’ sunsets like it’s our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I see me and you on a river”
Oh
I see me and you on a river
And we done run out of words that rhyme
You pick the spot and I’ll pull the trigger
I’d paint our names on our mailbox sign
Spend our mornings walkin’ with Jesus
I kiss you close when the daylight’s gone
Close your eyes, baby, can’t you see us
Watchin’ sunsets like it’s our job?
If I could paint a perfect picture
I see me and you on a river
Oh, yeah, on a river
