[Am]Homebound[G] Henry's got a tumor in his head
He wake[C]s up sweating[D] every morning after dreaming he was dead.
He used t[Am]o think that lif[G]e was boring, but now that's not the case.
He says[C] to his wif[D]e sometimes in the evening, "Honey, I'm afraid I'm
gonna lose this race."
CHORUS
Sweet R[GCD]iver, roll
[C]all ov[GCD]er me.
[C]Sweet [GCD]River, roll
[C]all ov[GCD]er me.
Soaking wet Juliet- she lives in a well full of tears.
Her husband left her for some bimbo after twenty-two years.
And she's gotta start all over, but she's just so terrified.
She thinks it woulda been so much easier if he woulda just died.
CHORUS
And I'm looking 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 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 prob'ly sleeping, and I bet you're totally unaware
of the flood of kisses you hold back by the way that you despair.
It ain't me I'm talking bout here, or anybody else you can touch.
That's all the more I'll say right now. I don't wanna say too much.
CHORUS
'cept Sweet Jesus, Roll
All over me.
Sweet Jesus, Roll
All over me.
