Shivers - SG Lewis, JP Cooper, Isaac Tichauer

I’ve been watching the man at the bar

With his head in his hands

And I think to myself, «I was just like you»

I can see there are times in your life

When it’s way too much for you

The battles you wear, or the armor you choose

When I first fill my lungs in the morning

I try to remember to say a quiet «thank you»

And if I rise with a weight in my heart

I like to play myself a sweet little tune

And I feel those cool rivers

Washing all over me

And I know these smooth rhythms

Make me move my feet

Oh you give me those soul shivers

Taking me back to the days

When music was a life-giver

Make a bad man change his ways

Cool rivers

Soul shivers

I can feel those smooth rhythms

Make a bad man change, a bad man change his ways

I’ve seen men who sleep at the side of the road

With a smile upon their face

I heard old men sing with youth in their voice

When that old-time record plays

I seen young boys learning their first steps

To the sound of those drum breaks

And I heard the sound that accompanies

So many first mistakes

Still, I feel those cool rivers

Washing all over me

And I know these smooth rhythms

Make me move my feet

Oh you give me those soul shivers

Taking me back to the days

When music was a life-giver

Make a bad man change his ways

Oh, I see those cool rivers

Soul shivers

I can feel those smooth rhythms

Make a bad man change, a bad man change his ways
