Poison In The Well

It all starts with a whisper on the devil's telephone

You don't gotta watch the news

Just sit down and place your order

Specials up on that chalkboard

And something's brewing in that corner

They pour the coffee and get their tea

But you didn't hear it from me

That sugar in his cup

Ain't the only thing he's stirring up

Says he saw my cousin Kelly

Get out of someone else's truck

She looked tired and she looked sweaty

And her husband gets back this week

But you didn't hear it from me

Drink it up like water

Come and get your fill

These tales keep getting taller

Run that rumor mill

You know what you do when you assume

Before you even know the truth

Every lie you tell is like poison in the well

Word got back round to her husband

Now he's taking her to court

He ain't buyin' what she's selling

Now he's filing for divorce

I heard he's taking everything

But you didn't hear it from me

Well, here's what really happened

It's not what you all believed

Her tire blew out on 30

And she was wrenching in that heat

A truck pulled up, said, "Jump in

"'Cause I'm headed where you live"

Drink it up like water

Come and get your fill

These tales keep getting taller

Run that rumor mill

You know what you do when you assume

Before you even know the truth

Every lie you tell is like poison in the well

That fire don't need stoked

So keep those loose lips closed

It all starts with a whisper on the devil's telephone

Drink it up like water

Come and get your fill

These tales keep getting taller

Run that rumor mill

You know what you do when you assume

Before you even know the truth

Every lie you tell is like poison in the

Poison in the well

It all starts with a whisper on the devil's telephone
