Over here on the dry side there’s a river that never flows
Over here on the dry side there’s a cold wind that always blows
I need your lovin’ and your huggin’
But I burned that bridge long ago
I used to thrill you with my kisses but that dog don’t hunt no more
I didn’t know what I’d be missin’ but now I know for sure
You’re my only drink of water
And that river just don’t run no more
Chorus
I’m lonely, I’m thirsty,
I’m withering away over here on the dry side
I’m the south end of a north bound horse
Still hoping for a my chance to trot home to you
Over there on the green side I can see where a flower grows
Over there on the green side a cool drink of water flows
And over here on the dry side
There’s a broken hearted romeo
Repeat Chorus
