Oh, my friend, we′d stay up 'til light
Whiskey and rye
Go all in on the red
Lay a bet on the 3: 45
Oh, I still remember the night
You drew a line
Smoked your last cigarette
Then you left with an Irish goodbye

Soul river
River don′t ever run dry
Carry me when you sweetly whisper
Soul river
Carry me home tonight
I'll carry you home
My true love whispers

No, stuck between anger and pride
She arrived
You confessed you were blessed
With the one good thing left in your life
Go, stay with her through the long night
One more time
Don't forget you both bled
While you said she′d wipe tears from your eyes

Soul river
River don′t ever run dry
Carry me when you sweetly whisper
Soul river
Carry me home tonight
I'll carry you home
My true love whispers

And I know I should have spotted the signs
Well, never mind
We′ll burn the oars with the boys
And get high, yeah, just like good old times
Oh, I'll never leave you behind
Out of my mind
I know we′ll meet again 'round the bend
Somewhere way down the line

Sweet soul river
River don′t ever run dry
Carry me when you sweetly whisper
Soul river
Carry me home tonight
I'll carry you home
My true love whispers
Soul river

River don't ever run dry
I′ll carry you home
My true love whispers
