Dry River - Live

Lyrics

I was born by a river, but it was paved with cement
 Yeah I was born by a river, but it was paved with cement
 Still I stand out in that old dry river, and wish that I was soaking wet
 Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour
 Someday this old dry river, it well, won't be dry anymore
 I played in the orange groves, 'til they bulldozed the trees
 I played in the orange groves, 'til they bulldozed down all the trees
 Now I stand out in those dead stumps, and I smell the blossoms on the leaves
 Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour
 Someday those old dead trees, won't be dead anymore
 I fell in love with a woman, but she did not love me
 Well, I fell in love with you baby, but you did not love me
 Now I'm as dry as that old river, and I'm as dead as those old trees
 Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour
 Someday this old heart of mine's gonna fall in love once more
 Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour
 Someday this old dry river, it won't be dry anymore
