Atkins, Rodney - The River Just Knows Lyrics
4 a.m. comes awful early, and I was dead on my feet
But if you gonna catch the biggest fish
You gotta lose a little sleep
Well, I pack my gear and a couple beers
I headed for my favorite spot
Was hoping to have the river to myself that day
'Cause the river don't talk, the river don't care
Where you've been, what you've done
Why it is your standin' there
It just rolls on by whisperin' to your soul
It's gonna be alright, the river just knows
The way the sun bounced off the water
I could hardly make him out
A big ole rainbow trout
The fight went on forever
And as they headed down my way, I saw his
military hair cut and the new scars on his face
Right then I knew what brought him to this place
You know the river don't talk, the river don't care
Where you've been, what you've done
Don't know why it is your standin' there
It just rolls on by whisperin' to your soul
It's gonna be alright, the river just knows
He held that fish down in the water
And he coaxed it to back to life
He said "Help, you get your wind back
'Cause you help me get mine"
And all I could think to say was "Welcome home"
But I think that river said it best on its own
You know the river don't talk, the river don't care
Where you've been, what you've done
Don't know why it is your standin' there
It just rolls on by whisperin' to your soul
It's gonna be alright, the river just knows
It's gonna be alright, the river just knows
It just knows...

Atkins, Rodney The River Just Knows Comments
Spent my thanksgiving alone by the river alone. First real one I've had in years.
I might not fish but I could back my truck drop the gate sit and let the river just speak to me the river just knows
Thank for this song. #americanriverstrokers
I grow a big smile when he sings he got a rainbow trout cause I just came from trout fishing and this song is true it calms your down just relax‘ you from a person that has depression going to the river throw out a line it puts a smile on my face when I’m going through a rough time
I'm a 37 year old women! An thus song my son loves. He told me my mom u gotta listen to this. it's so true for me in a lot ways.
One of the first places I went when I came home. Steelhead where in.
Rodney fucking river, forever rivering fish. Don’t ever let Rodney see a river
Sometimes I just sit on the bank for 5 hours doing nothing. No drink, no rod, nothing and I just listen to the stories the current does tell.

Not even the river?
Love the Truckee river! She speaks to me!
I almost feel sorry for the folks that lost their lifes in the military. Im not saying any disrespect I am pro military. The reason I don't is because they fought for their belief of keeping their family safe and died with their family in their heart. but now they are resting on a river by gods side. god bless those who join the cause to secure our future. wether alive or gone, known to me or not, I love you all and thank you for protecting all of us.
good song
just hope i make it back
I sure u will be fine buddy. don't think bout that stuff u need to watch your back and your brothers and sisters fighting beside u.
+Aaron Daniel amen keep on keepin on Calvin thank you
Calvin Pointer hope you're doin alright brother. God bless
Calvin Pointer Amen, stay save
The River gives me so much peace
welcome home and thank you

The traveler fancies he has seen the country. So he has, the outside of it at least; but the angler only sees the inside. The angler only is brought close, face to face with the flower and bird and insect life of the rich riverbanks, the only part of the landscape where the hand of man has never interfered."
this is my favort song
well then you need to be a fish hehe!!!!
great song really love it
i posted 2 video response. i sure like this song i wish i could sing like this,i wrote the song on one of the response videos ,and sang .hope it is liked,but don't see it up here.

Semper Fi yourself

This can make a man that doesn't cry, cry. thanks for posting
actually its 6 now
Ant that the truth!
stay safe dude
add to my playlist
And it will be much deserved! Good luck, much respect, my friend!
damn straight
Yea, the lyrics are powerful. Did Rodney write this one?
All that flat swampy Louisianna/Florida looking terrain is not a good place to catch a trout. You need cold water. You'll never catch a trout there. Maybe a largemouth bass.
Make that 6
this is how i feel hunting in the bush, walking around searching for tracks, waiting for deer to show up,no tree stands for me i gotta be on the ground with nature..its so peaceful...so quiet you can hear a birds wings flapping 40 feet above your head, it feels like you have super human hearing/senses...the greatest feeling in the world.
some of the pictures in this video looks like a hell of a spot to kill a monster buck where where these taken
@24countryboy24 One person has never learned how to type...
if i want my pole jerked ill go to the river
THANK YOU all men and women that have served thanks to you we can fish all we want
@datbomb98 oorah
i wish i could spend everyday on the river♥♥
Took my son fishing when he came home on leave, and went with a friend and his son the day his son got back from Iraq.
Lot of truth to this song.
to my country, friends, family, and the fish in the river! semper fidelis
i know now what im doing tomarrow, fishing in my favorite hole on the wisconsin river!!!!!
^_^ Should I do this song for a vocal competion? (I'm a Girl)
tip my hat to everyone in the armed forces and crack a cold one with anyone else on the river with me
A Dam good song!
this song is amazing. I have to agree completely as i spent alot of time this summer by the river and it is the most therapeutic and wonderful feeling to sit by and watch it float by as if nothing else matters at that time.
i luv this song!!!!!
Just got back from a weekend at the lake. Nothin more relaxin than fishin. Just you and the water
OMG NEW FAVORTIE SONG
I've had almost this exact thing happen to me after my first tour I met a man and he ended up my best friend. Thank God for The Rivers of America.
@Nx2000gtiruk Its fine I'm a USM and I've survived hell you'll do fine, just shoot straight and duck low.
Semper Fi
Holy cow, i love this song. i have never heard it before, but it's so true.
Isnt this the truth. After my grandfather died, I spent all summer fishing at the river where me and him fished every year.
I love the peacefulness of a trout stream, as you watch that trout rise to your dry fly.....My dad passed away March 27th, 2009, just 2 wks after my 18th birthday, I buried him 2 days later, and the very next day i started a month long vacation doing nothing but trout fishing in montana...Everyday hearing the river greet you with the same voice, it was like hear'n daddy's voice everymorning when he got up.....
@Mariokartplayr10 mm...id have to say fishing with a lifetime best friend or the girl you love beats it. been doing alot of both lately and its probly the only thing thats kept me from kicking my teachers ass.
I was raised in Florida and to me nothin's better than fishing the Wekiva river.
4 people won't have me at their funeral
Why does this video have a dislike button?
4 people have a ugly stick shoved up there a**.
its awesome that the most calming and relaxing hobby is considered the most dangerous sport in the world.lol
gotta love it though
Rivers are a vital part of our lives. If your lucky enough to have one not affected by our dams and chemical discharges than cherish it and don't let ne1 take it away. Either way they're great but natural fishing is one of the last true free things america has. Protect our rivers and respect them along with watersheds and waterways in between. Don't let that receipt blow out of your pocket. Pick it up. Save a stretch of water for your kids.
@stevesimchick AMEN !
Let me tell ya, i've been so stressed latly with family stuff recently.. I'm over due for a river trip. Take out the flat bottom and do some hot laps and blow off some steam is what I need. yup
biesemeyer show me the way
my favorite song by him. song says it all.
@TheRedrock3 u r correct because this song/Rodney Atkins is awesome
4 people need to die
im in the desert... and i want my river... everytime i try and go fishing i have something army come up and i cant,.. :( one day i will get back n my river
@memyselfandimsi What?
@HillbillyDeluxeMuddy and God
One of the best places to get yourself back together is the river, a vets favorite place
Gotta Love being the one out on that Old river..
this song brings a tear to my eye with as much as i have been threw i know what he means
good track
i like it very much
jó szám
nagyon tetszik
when ever anything is bothering me i just go fishing and forget everything for a day it is the best thing in the world
This song is SO TRUE. Fishing is the best thing in the world. The worst day fishing is better than the best day at work/school.
People ask me why I fish.... well just listen to this song!
mediocre
this is so true me and my girlfriend go and just watch that water just flow while cating some fish
fuck i miss summer
nothing beats fishing on a river with noone else around and you can think and relieve all the stress thats been bothering you and doing it while catching a few... just amazing
1;50 and 2;35 look like cape fear river
That picture at 2:15 is amazing
