Shivers

I've been watching the man at the bar

With his head in his hands

And I think to myself I was just like you

I can see there are times in your life

When it's way too much for you

The battles you wear or the armor you choose

When I first fill my lungs in the morning

I try to remember to say a quiet thank you

And if I rise with a weight in my heart

I like to play myself a sweet little tune

And I feel those cool rivers

Washing all over me

And I know these smooth rhythms

Make me move my feet

Oh you give me those soul shivers

Taking me back to the days

When music was a life giver

Make a bad man change his ways

Cool rivers

Soul shivers

I can feel those smooth rhythms

Make a bad man change a bad man change his ways

I've seen men who sleep at the side of the road

With a smile upon their face

I heard old men sing with youth in their voice

When that old time record plays

I seen young boys learning their first steps

To the sound of those drum breaks

And I heard the sound that accompanies

So many first mistakes

Still I feel those cool rivers

Washing all over me

And I know these smooth rhythms

Make me move my feet

Oh you give me those soul shivers

Taking me back to the days

When music was a life giver

Make a bad man change his ways

Oh I see those cool rivers

Soul shivers

I can feel those smooth rhythms

Make a bad man change a bad man change his ways
