Deeper Well (#1)

Lyrics

Well, ha ha
 Mm-hm
 ♪
 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
 Went to the river but the river was dry
 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, well, well, well
 Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
 I was ready for love, I was ready for the money
 I was ready for the blood and ready for the honey
 Ready for the winnin', and ready for the bell
 Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
 Found some love and I found some money
 And I 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, well, well, well
 Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
 So, I took to the road and I took to the song
 But I took it too fast and I took it too long
 They wanted my heart and they wanted my soul
 Could not keep what I could not hold
 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, well, well, well
 Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
 ♪
 Well, I did it for kicks and I did it for hate
 And 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
 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, well, well, well
 Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
 Well, well, well, well
 I drank the water from a deeper well
