Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The whole world's spinning in the wrong direction
Body and soul needs a resurrection
Ain't had a single thing go my way
And I can't tell you how many days I need
[Verse 2]
Blue water, I need a sunny day
Blue water, sail all my cares away
Head out to see when the tide rolls in
Feel like a brand new man again
I need blue, gonna drown my troubles in blue water
[Verse 3]
Drove all the way through Arizona
Thought I found the answer in Sedona
This desert's getting old to me
I need a little bit of that deep blue sea
[Verse 4]
I need blue water, I need a sunny day
Blue water, sail all my cares away
Head out to see when the tide rolls in
Feel like a brand new man again
I need blue, gonna drown my troubles in blue water
[Verse 5]
I drove right through the heart of Texas
Miles and miles of empty stretches
Parked out by the lake near Santa Fe
Started thinking about Aransas Bay
[Verse 6]
I need blue water, gonna drown my troubles in blue water
[Verse 7]
I need the motion of the ocean
That's the only magic potion
[Verse 8]
Blue water, I need a sunny day
Blue water, sail all my cares away
Head out to see when the tide rolls in
Feel like a brand new man again
I need blue, gonna drown my troubles in blue water
[Verse 9]
Gonna drown my troubles in blue
Gonna drown my troubles in blue water
Pick out a sunny day, blue
Drown my troubles in blue water
Drown my troubles in blue water
