RAGING RIVER lyrics

(words & music by Bronwyn Edwards Cryer)

Here we go tearing down Highway Twenty-Four
He slams that foot down hard, pedal to the floor
Drivin' too fast, he's driving himself crazy
And here I am asking myself what made me
Love a Raging River...        

Just a little tiff, not exactly life-threatening
Fuse shortened to ignition, here's tension
Liquid lava tearing these fragile banks asunder
With the headstrong force of rolling thunder
He's a Raging River                  oh yeah...

Just another challenge to upset my calm
Fire on ice -- he's the burn but I'm the balm (soothe him!)

It takes a strong woman, takes a real strong woman
Takes a real strong hard-headed woman
To cross a Raging River

Yeah...  

Highway Twenty-Four vengeance to deliver
Caught up in the flood of my Raging River
Beyond reason now, it's gonna be sink or swim
But my love tames this destructive side of him
He's my Raging River

Uh-huh...            Well, alright...      I love him...      Yeah...

Just another chance his anger to disarm
Fire on ice -- he's the burn but I'm the balm (Soothe him)

It takes a strong woman, takes a real strong woman
Takes a real strong, sure-footed woman
To cross a Raging River

Just ahead there lies a peaceful bend
I'm the island in the river where the torrents end...

It takes a strong woman, takes a real strong woman
Takes a real strong hard-headed, sure-footed,
Big-hearted, clear-thinking, love-soaked woman...
To cross a Raging River... to cross a Raging River... to cross a Raging River

(yeah...    I love him...  )
