I crossed the desert in a red Chevelle
Took a room in a pink motel
A color TV and a minibar
And a neon sign that said, "No va".
Can see for miles and miles, seems like
It's daylight here, but I can see the night
Sweeping cross the plain from east to west
And I feel my heart beating in my chest
Oh yeah, walk out in the river
Yeah, but the river's run dry
You got to walk out in the river
No one can see you cry
Local boys with nothing to do
Shooting Budweiser cans with a .22
Put a bullet inside the AB ring
You can make another target just by doing your thing
Oh yeah, walk out in the river
Yeah, but the river's run dry
You got to walk out in the river
No one can see you cry
There's a little girl down by the swimming pool side
Blowing bubbles with angels trapped inside
When the bubbles pop the angels go free
And they fly away to heaven 'cross the galaxy
Oh yeah, walk out in the river
Yeah, but the river's run dry
You got to walk out in the river
No one can see you cry
Yeah, walk out in the river
Yeah, but the river's run dry
You got to walk out in the river
No one can see you cry
