River Runs DryBon Jovi

Released: November 16, 2004

Songwriter: Desmond Child Jon Bon Jovi

[Verse 1]
I didn't want to say it in this way
I didn't want to see the day I'd say these words to you
I didn't want have to explain
Sometimes heroes have to lose
It's killing me to see you cry
Would it make it any better if I told you I did it all for you
It was just another roll of the dice
Just another star in the sky
Tried to touch it but I couldn't fly

[Chorus]
Everybody knows the promise of the river
Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes
Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water
But there's nothing anybody can do
Rivers run dry

[Verse 2]
Going to have to go away
I always told you that a man has got to face his own mistakes
Sometimes you get a lucky break
Sometimes your winning streak will stay
Sometimes you got to pay

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Oh, I remember when the rivers ran high
Oh, we could make it to the other side
Make it to the other side

[Chorus]
