Randy Travis - Pick Up the Oars and Row LYRICS

What good does it do to hold on to
The anger deep in your heart
You're the only one that it's hurtin'
You're the one that it's tearin' apart.

I'm sorry that he broke your heart, girl
But it's time to let it go.
Sometimes love is a river of tears
So pick up the oars and row.

He shattered your expectations
He broke all his promises too
With his little white lies he looked in your eyes
And made youbelieve they were true.

Ah, but this ain't the final curtain
Girl, It's time to get on with the show
Sometimes love is a river of tears
So pick up the oars and row.

It's been too long now
Since I've seen you smile
Bitterness don't look good on you
And self-pity just ain't your style.

Sooner or later you know
You've got to play the cards you've drawn
It's all up to you. you can stay blue
Or you can move on.

Ain't it hard when you discover
Things ain't what you thought they would be
When all of your best laid plans
Hit the wall of reality.

Still all in all it's a good life
But it sure can be painful, I know
Sometimes love is a river of tears
So pick up the oars and row.

Sometimes love is a river of tears
So pick up the oars and row...
