Deeper Well

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 well

I went to the river

But the river was dry

I fell to my knees

And I looked to the sky

Looked to the sky

And the spring rain fell

I saw the water

From a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I 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 well

I 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 well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, 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 glove

So 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 well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I rocked with the cradle

And I rolled with the rage

I shook those walls

And I rattled that cage

Took my trouble

Down a dead-end trail

Reachin' out a hand

For a holier grail

Hey 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 well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
