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
 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
