I never been to Cincinnati
Well maybe I'll take some time to make that ride on the road to the west coast
Nor have I been to Salt Lake City
But I'm on my way to San Jose and don't know when I'm coming homeI've been looking for the well And I'm looking for the water
But in this city now It's all dust and mortar
I've been praying for the rainfall
Hoping for a small cloud But this far from you, girl
I should expect a droughtI've never been this long without you Over twenty-five hundred miles and forty hours with the fuel gauge in the red
You know I'm dying to be somebody
I wish you were here with me in the shotgun seat as we play these old cassettesI've been looking for the river
As I'm headed to the ocean But in this city now The dry land is broken I've been searching for the answers As I'm running from my doubts But with the glass half empty
I should expect a droughtOh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer And you are my water Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer And you are my waterI never been to Manhattan
Well only one wintertime, on the low eastside, but I had no time to stop We're gonna go to New York City I can't wait 'til I get home, you pack your clothes, and we'll walk the promenadeI've been looking for the well
And I'm looking for the water
But in this city now It's all dust and mortar I've been praying for the rainfall Hoping for a small cloud I'm coming back to you, girl
And we'll end this droughtOh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer
And you are my water
Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer And you are my water
It's gonna be a long, long, long
A long dry summer
Mmmmm, you are my water
