my road trip theme song! "the river" by garthbrooks!

I've wanted a theme song for this trip, but I couldn't pick just any 'ol song. It had to be perfect! "The River" by Garth Brooks is one of my all time favorite songs and now it's my theme song! I couldn't ask for a more perfect song to accompany me on this crazy ass road trip! Lulu, my co-pilot, loves it too! She could do without my singing though!! lol 

 

THE RIVER, by Garth Brooks (song lyrics)

You know a dream is like a river 
Ever changin' as it flows 
And a dreamer's just a vessel 
That must follow where it goes 
Trying to learn from what's behind you 
And never knowing what's in store 
Makes each day a constant battle 
Just to stay between the shores 
And I will sail my vessel 
'Til the river runs dry 
Like a bird upon the wind 
These waters are my sky 
I'll never reach my destination 
If I never try 
So I will sail my vessel 
'Til the river runs dry 
Too many times we stand aside 
And let the waters slip away 
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow 
It has now become today 
So don't you sit upon the shoreline 
And say you're satisfied 
Choose to chance the rapids 
And dare to dance that tide 
And I will sail my vessel 
'Til the river runs dry 
Like a bird upon the wind 
These waters are my sky 
I'll never reach my destination 
If I never try 
So I will sail my vessel 
'Til the river runs dry 
There's bound to be rough waters 
And I know I'll tke soome falls 
With the good Lord as my captain 
I can make it through them all 
And I will sail my vessel 
'Til the river runs dry 
Like a bird upon the wind 
These waters are my sky 
I'll never reach my destination 
If I never try 
So I will sail my vessel 
'Til the river runs dry 
Lord, I will sail my vessel 
'Til the river runs dry 
Yea

As you know, i have wanted to know your theme song and now that you have one you bet your buns that when you are at the end of this journey i'm coming to visit humm'n the notes.
