Run Away, Whisky River Billy Cobb

Met a man from the hills of Pennsylvania
He seemed to know a whole lot about life
He asked me, "Son what's truly gonna save ya?
A wondrous land or staying with your guy?"

Run away, whisky river, run away
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride

Lately I've been trying to find a mirror
To find some hidden meaning in my eyes
And when I saw myself, I was with Johnny
Sailing seas and living our best life

Run away, whisky river, run away
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride

Is this the way that things are meant to be?
I love the land but something calls my name out to sea
There's many worlds to sail to and they're all waiting for me
Think of all the land I've yet to see

Run away, whisky river, run away
May your many streams carry away my heart out to sea
Oh take the man who loves you, and hold him by your side
Oh keep your love and hold him with your pride
