Sweet River Roll

Homebound Henry
He's got a tumor in his head
He wakes up sweating every morning
After dreaming he was dead
He used to think that life was boring
But now that's not the case
He turns to his wife in the evening
He says, "Honey, I'm afraid I'm gonna lose this race"

Sweet river rolls
All over me
Sweet river rolls
All over me

Soaking wet Juliet
She lives in a well full of tears
Her husband left her for some bimbo
After twenty-two years
Now she's got to start all over
But she's just so terrified
She thinks it would have been so much easier
If he would have just died

Sweet river rolls
All over me
Sweet river rolls
All over me

Now I'm looking out my car window
Sitting in the pouring rain

Although your house is fifteen miles away
I can still feel your pain
And I've thought and prayed and worked it through
About a hundred times or more

How your soul just cries to everyone
To help you get up off the floor
And right now it's morning
You're probably sleeping
I bet you're totally unaware
Of the flood of tears that you hold back
By the way that you despair

It ain't me I'm talking about here
Or anybody else you can touch
And that's all I'm gonna say right now
I don't wanna say too much

Except sweet Jesus rolls
All over me
Sweet Jesus rolls
All over me
Sweet Jesus, oh, won't you just roll?
You gotta roll all over me
Sweet Jesus, oh, won't you just roll?
And just to set me free
Oh, just to set me free
