Was a man on the hunt like other men
I was looking for a night, the others said
She'd be standing by her skins
And one of them read, "Beware of the Dog"
Eight or nine miles from Butte on 14A
Hickey man playing songs by Johnny Ray
And the sun spitting nonsense into my brain cells
Eating them away
Then I noticed a path through the rocks and the trees
Twenty feet in was a clear winding creek
I felt like I must so I dropped to my knees
And had me a drink or two
There she was in a flash, the girl of my dreams
But the sky seemed to fall as I reached for her jeans
Doctor said "Too much sun, it ain't what it seems"
Demons going away
Cherry water, cherry river
Cherry river, I'm coming back to you
Then I noticed a path through the rocks and the trees
Twenty feet in was a clear winding creek
I felt like I must so I dropped to my knees
And had me a drink or two
Now I've backtracked my steps to find the same place
Up and down on the road without a trace
If I got me that high from just one taste
Gotta have it once again
Cherry water, cherry river
Cherry river, I'm coming back to you
Cherry water, cherry river
Cherry river, I'm coming back to you
[Verse 1]
Was a man on the hunt like other men
I was looking for a night, the others said
She'd be standing by her skins
And one of them read, "Beware of the Dog"
[Verse 2]
Eight or nine miles from Butte on 14A
Hickey man playing songs by Johnny Ray
And the sun spitting nonsense into my brain cells
Eating them away
[Bridge]
Then I noticed a path through the rocks and the trees
Twenty feet in was a clear winding creek
I felt like I must so I dropped to my knees
And had me a drink or two
[Verse 3]
There she was in a flash, the girl of my dreams
But the sky seemed to fall as I reached for her jeans
Doctor said "Too much sun, it ain't what it seems"
Demons going away
[Chorus]
Cherry water, cherry river
Cherry river, I'm coming back to you
[Bridge]
Then I noticed a path through the rocks and the trees
Twenty feet in was a clear winding creek
I felt like I must so I dropped to my knees
And had me a drink or two
[Verse 4]
Now I've backtracked my steps to find the same place
Up and down on the road without a trace
If I got me that high from just one taste
Gotta have it once again
[Chorus]
Cherry water, cherry river
Cherry river, I'm coming back to you
Cherry water, cherry river
Cherry river, I'm coming back to you
