[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
