The Jeff Healey Band River Of No Return lyrics

Well, you know you're gonna have to steal it
If you want your cake and eat it, too
There is no one left believin'
Than the guy who's been deceivin' you

You got to pay the piper
In the end you will be so much wiser
Got to use your best endeavor
When you're kissin' to be clever

'Cause it's a hard, hard lesson
That you're gonna learn, on the river of no return
You been burnin' all your bridges
Like a child with forty wishes, on the river of no return

Well, you got your finger
On the trigger
It would help, if you was a bigger
Now, it's not easy, hmm I know, it's not easy

'Cause it's a hard, hard lesson
That you're gonna learn, on the river of no return
You been burnin' all your bridges
Like a child with forty wishes, on the river of no return
Yea yea


Yes, you've done your share of cheatin'
Now you're gonna have to take a beatin'
You been acting like a sucker
Now, you're gonna have to suffer, yea

'Cause it's a hard, hard lesson
That you're gonna learn, on the river of no return
You been burnin' all your bridges
Like a child with forty wishes, on the river of no return

Say, say, say
'Cause it's a hard, hard lesson
That you're gonna learn, on the river of no return
It's a one way to go, it's on and on you go
On the river of no return

Say it again
'Cause it's a hard, hard lesson
That you're gonna learn, on the river of no return
Got swept out in the tide
With no one on your side, on the river of no return
