River Runs Dry Lyrics - Bon Jovi

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 

Gonna 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 gotta pay 

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 

When the rivers run dry 

Oh, I remember when the rivers ran high 

Oh, we could make it to the other side 

Make it to the other side 

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 

Oh, there's nothing anybody can do 

There's nothing anybody can do 

When the rivers run dry
