Lyrics

A lonely mother gazin' out of the window Staring at her son that she just can't touch If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much But all the praying just ain't helping at all 'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how Another body layin' cold in the gutter, listen to me Don't go chasin' waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast Little precious has a natural obsession For temptation but he just can't see She gives him loving that his body can't handle But all he can say is, "Baby it's good to me" One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror But he doesn't recognize his own face His health is fading and he doesn't know why Three letters took him to his final resting place, y'all, don't hear me Don't go chasin' waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast Ah c'mon I seen a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and joined Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray Is it because my life is ten shades of gray I pray, all ten fade away seldom praise Him for the sunny days And like His promise is true only my faith can undo The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew Clear and blue and unconditional Skies have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope With such an endurin' pain that it keeps them in the pourin' rain Who's to blame for tootin' caine into your own vein What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain You claim the insane and ain't this day and time for fallin' Prey to crime I say the system got you victim to your mind Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you Don't go chasin' waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast Oh you're moving too fast Don't go chasin' waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast
