Blue River Blue, I'd rather be outside
           G  A7               D     G    A7
Here I am inside watching it rain
             G                     D
Blue River Blue, I'd rather be somewhere

Some people like that downhill stuff
  G                      D
They like it fast and breezy
 G                             D
Some people walk on the other side
      E7               A7
They like it slow and easy
  G                      D
Some people run on a mountain trail

         G                  D
There's work in what we practice
 G                     D
Work in the things we say
   G          
Sometimes we work
          D
Just to try to make a living
           E7                     A7
Or we're workin' just to make it pay
   G                            D
Sometimes we're tryin' to work our will
     G                 D
But that won't work anyway
G                      D
I only know that I'm workin' still 
         E7                    A7
Just to get another chance to play

Keep movin' in a forward direction
        Em7           A7          D
Like a river rollin' down to the sea
         Bm                       G
If you wanna make a diff'rent selection
        E7                   A7
Honey, let yourself go with gravity

But nobody wants to be lookin' alone
   G                       D  
Everybody's tryin' to get down to it
   G                    D
Everybody's tryin' to sing
   G                  D
Whatever it is we're all gonna do it
            E7                  A7
'Cause whatever we do we gotta do our own thing
