The River's Dry

These dusty boots have walk some miles The heals are wearing thin The marks thereon, they tell the tales Some will make you cringe There ain't no cause for looking back It only leads to pain Coz the river's dry, the river's dry I've no concern for what's ahead Nor what I've left behind I lost myself along the ways But I'm still alive I know that forward's a rocky road I take it in my stride Coz the river's dry, the river's dry You can march me through the gates of hell You can throw me to the flames But the devil, he won't take my soul Coz fire runs through my veins No I won't lie down, I'll stand tall And I'll damn sure break these chains Coz I've paid my dues and I've served my time Where the river's dry I look ahead and all I see are Horizons with no end But as time goes on and memories fade The heart begins to mend All I've seen and all I've learned Now I fully comprehend That the river's dry, the river's dry You can march me through the gates of hell You can throw me to the flames But the devil, he won't take my soul Coz fire runs through my veins No I won't lie down, I'll stand tall And I'll damn sure break these chains Coz I've paid my dues and I've served my time Where the river's dry So march through the gates of hell And throw me in the flames I'll fight the devil and take his crown And be on the road again These chains they won't restrain me My path ain't gonna change Coz I'm leaving this place long and far behind Where the river's dry
