LYRICS: 

I know that we're gonna be together you and me 
For more than a rhyme or two your time belongs to me 
Rowing back down my river 
Chasing my tail to the sea 
Rowing back down my river 
Trying my best to be me 

Watching your crazy ways and all the lazy days 
Digging you more and more the more I see your face 
Rowing back down my river 
Trying my best to be free 
Rowing back down my river 
Chasing my tail to the sea 

Watching the simple things to help me go along 
Loving the notes you bring to help me sing my song 
Rowing back down my river 
Trying my best to be me 
Rowing back down my river 
Singing my songs to the sea 

I know that we're gonna be together you and me 
For more than a time or two your rhymes belong to me 
Rowing back down my river 
Chasing my tail to the sea 
Rowing back down my river 
Trying my best to be me
