Deeper Well (#1)

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 wellI 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 wellWell, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper wellI 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 wellI 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 wellWell, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper wellWell, 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 gloveSo 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 wellWell, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper wellI 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 grailHey 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 wellWell, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
