I heard the music long ago, songs that rent the air

Fading in and out at night while I was lying there

Voices soft and lonely and later rock and roll

Flying across the Rio Grande, straight into my soul

Trying to find a reason, trying to find that rhyme

Rolling with the river trying to keep time

And in the end I wouldn't change a thing, I'd sing

Music is the life in me, it's the melody I breathe

It gives me strength in harder times and reason to believe

Endless miles of highway, every step hard earned

It seems like it was all mapped out, all the twists and turns

Still trying to find a reason, trying to find that rhyme

Still rolling with the river trying to keep time

And in the end I wouldn't change a thing, I'd sing

And in the end I wouldn't change a thing, I'd sing
