Dead In the Water - Randall Bramblett

Dead In the Water Lyrics

I run out of gas on the Huey Long Bridge
And the moon was drownin' in the mud
Don't think about walkin' back to town
Don't think about jumpin' it's too far downDead in the water
Hidin in a whisper tree
Preacher on the corner
Shoutin' to an empty streetMama been flyin
Drinkin that benzedrine
She's scrubbin the floor with a toothbrush
But she just can't get it cleanDead in the water
Hidin in a whisper tree
Man on the corner
Shoutin to an empty streetHey, heyHidin' in the saw grass
Drinkin' from a shot glass
While the black wind howls
While the police scowlStarin at the night sky
While you're makin up a good lie
When the lights come on you got to be strong

Better think of something sweet
'Fore they put you in the back seatDead in the water
