Lyrics
Thank you so much here!
This song about a boy got himself in a lot of trouble
So, my second record is called, "Gimme Some Water"
Gimme some water
Mama never understood what it's like for a losing man
When her number one son goes bad
Playing cards with the Devil's hand
But Daddy got real sick so quick
Four walls never understand
I was the one that got good with the gun
Took the money from the rich man's land
Gimme some water
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme some water
I need a little water
See Jimmy, you grew up so fast
Then he met me at the pass one day
Said, you're a wanted man
Take your brother's hand
I'll be running with you anyway
So we rode late in the night like fires on the desert sand
'Til one day, the posse caught us
The sheriff always gets his man
Gimme some water
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
I need a little water
Oh jeez, I just can't lose my hand
I've run just as fast as my legs can
But jeez, I got no room, I got no room to run
Shouldn't have done what I did without that big, that big, that big gun
Gimme some water
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Can't you see that long white rope
Hanging from the hangman's tree
Take a restless horse, tie my hands of course
Mama I'm finally free
Let me die like a man no one understands
Let me pray like a poor man pray
Smack that horse in the ass
With my last dying gasp
My brother could hear me say
Gimme some water
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme some water
Uh, shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water (won't you gimme some water?)
Gimme some water
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme some water
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme some water
The boy got himself in a hell of a lot of trouble
Thank you, you're very kind, man, beautiful audience
Hey, we got to get out of here, man
We ain't up through the night here, we got to go
We'll see you this summer
Get 'em out of there
My friends call me Pete
Thank you, we got to go, thank you
Thank you
Thank you
