I've traveled
And I've seen the things I build, workin'
Workin' to bring me down
And I may be thirsty now
But I will go beyond this thirst
And my tears, I cry for you, all go dry

So I lay down on the floor, turn on my radio
Come on River Otis make me cry
'Cause I've been out all night
And I had to give up the fight
So come on River Otis make me cry
Come on River Otis make me cry

Well I've fallen
But I have risen too in what I believe in
Now I see through
And you got thirsty too
So you come to my well
But the only thing you brought was your thousand yard stare

So I lay down on the floor, turn on my radio
Come on River Otis make me cry
'Cause I've been out all night
Still I had to give up the fight
So come on River Otis make me cry
Come on River Otis make me cry
Yeah, make me cry

Well I've traveled
And I've seen the things I build workin'
Workin' to bring me down
Well I ain't thirsty no more
I've gone beyond that thirst
And the tears I cried for you, all gone dry

Yeah, so I lay down on the floor
Turn on my radio
Come on River Otis make me cry
'Cause I been out all night
Still I had to give up the fight
Now come on River Otis make me cry
Come on River Otis
Come on River Otis make me
Come on River Otis make me cry

Yeah, make me cry
Yeah, yeah make me cry, cry
Come on River Otis
Come on River Otis make me
Come on River Otis
Come on River Otis make me cry
Yeah, make me try
Make me try, try, try, try, try, try
