She follows the path of least resistance   She doesn't care to see the mountain top   She twists and turns with no regard to distance   She never comes to a stop      And she rolls, she's a river   Where she goes, time will tell   Heaven knows, he can't go with her   And she rolls, all by herself, all by herself      He's headed for a single destination   He doesn't care what's standing in his path   He's a line between two points of separation   He ends just where it says to on the map      And he rolls, he's on highway   Where he goes, time will tell   Heaven knows, she can't go with him   And he rolls, all by himself, all by himself      But every now and then, he offers her a shoulder   And every now and then she overflows   And every now and then a bridge crosses over   It's a moment that every lover knows      As she rolls   (And he rolls)   She's a river   (He's a highway)   Where she goes   (Where he goes)   Time will tell   Heaven knows   She can't go with him   (He can't go with her)   And she rolls, all by herself   And he rolls, all by himself      Fare the well
