Homebound Henry's got a tumor in his head 
He wakes up 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, roll all over me 
Sweet River, roll 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 woulda been so much easier if he woulda just died 
And I'm lookin out my car window sittin' in the pouring rain 
Although your house is fifteen miles away, I can still feel your pain 

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 
Right now it's morning, you're probably totally unaware 
Of the flood of kisses you hold back by the way that you despair 

It ain't me I'm talking about here, or anybody else you can touch 
That's all I want to say right now, I don't want to say too much 
Except Sweet Jesus, roll all over me 
Sweet Jesus, roll all over me... 

You gotta come down and just set me free
