The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes |
|
Burned so hot I thought I'd died |
|
Thought I'd died and gone to hell |
|
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
I went to the river but the river was dry |
|
I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky |
|
Looked to the sky and the spring rain fell |
|
I saw the water from a deeper well |
|
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
I was ready for love, I was ready for the money |
|
Ready for the blood and ready for the honey |
|
Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell |
|
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
I found some love and I found some money |
|
Found that blood would drip from the honey |
|
Found I had a thirst that I could not quell |
|
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
Well, I did it for kicks and I did it for hate |
|
I did it for lust and I did it for faith |
|
I did it for need and I did it for love |
|
Addiction stayed on tight like a glove |
|
So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night |
|
And the three of us were a terrible sight |
|
Nipple to the bottle, to the gun, to the cell |
|
To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well |
|
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage |
|
I shook those walls and I rattled that gage |
|
Took my trouble down a dead end trail |
|
Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail |
|
Hey there, mama, did you carry that load |
|
Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road |
|
'Bout the rebel yell, 'bout the one that fell |
|
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
|
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well |
