Lyrics
Cascade Road at 9, the air is thick as mud.
The katydids are buzzing out a hymn in their own blood.
I keep my hands at ten and two, a promise that I keep,
To steer myself around the bend where all our secrets sleep.
[Chorus]
I just let the river run, David, let it run slow.
Let the Chattahoochee carry what I can't let go.
[Verse 2]
I passed the little market where you bought the peaches cheap.

Let the Chattahoochee carry what I can't let go.
[Bridge]
This tired kind of quiet, it ain't anger, it ain't blame.
It's just the sound of water washing the letters from your name.
[Outro]
Letting it run...
Letting it run slow.
