Van Halen - Big River Lyrics






Wind at my back,
face in the sun.
All my big ideas done.

Big river
rollin’.

Listen to a sea shell
you can hear the sea.
Listen to a beer glass
that river belongs to me.

Big river
rollin’.

There’s a river runs here.
When it rains we flood.
Co-op City first 3 floors
of Charles River mud.

Big river
rollin’.
Oh, yeah!
Big river
rollin’.
Oh, yeah!

Land’s edge,
where the East begins,
the debris meets the sea
when the tide comes in.

Oh, look out!

Look both ways now.

[solo 1]

Big river
rollin’.
Oh, yeah!
Big river
rollin’.
Oh, yeah!

Big river.
Big river.
Oh, yeah!

[solo 2]

    Eddie will always be a Inspiration for every person who has loved music. By far one of the greatest Musician of all time. I've been blessed to have grown up on VAN HALEN. 1,2,3 love dave's vocals (early years) sam's vocals, gary's vocals. And the Harmony of Mike. Anyone wanting to relive thier youth should just sit down and listen to big river. And Appreciate the magic of mr. Eddie Van Halen. May the good lord always watch over you
