Bonepony - Where the Water's Deep (live) lyrics

There's a mean old man got a mean old wife They got four grown kids and a wilted life Guess that's the way it goes...yeah...yeah Spent forty-seven years in a butcher shop He spends his hundred dollar pension on his burial plot Cause that's the way it goes...yeah...yeah Sometimes he thinks back to the times he had Before his kids moved away and his wife went mad Now he feels used up like money spent Like a wet tongue s**ing on a peppermint Can't you hear him crying out his soft lament Take me down Where the Water's Deep Down to the river where the water's sweet My jug's bone dry from the desert heat I need to fill it up again Take me down Where the Water's Deep Down to the river cause I need a drink My jug's bone dry from the desert heat I need to fill it up..fill it up again There's a young girl looking for a brighter fate Than pouring coffee for the truckers off the interstate Cause that's the way it goes...yeah...yeah Wants more of a living than a trailer house With an adolescent husband for a drunken spouse Cause that's the way it goes...yeah...yeah Now her lips are cracked from the burning sun And she wants to flee but her legs won't run Sometimes she crys when the day is done Take me down Where the Water's Deep Down to the river where the water's sweet My jug's bone dry from the desert heat I need to fill it up again Take me down Where the Water's Deep Down to the river where the waters sweet My jug's bone dry from the desert heat I need to fill it up..fill it up again Oh my bones are cracking and my blood's done turned to dust yeah.... Oh I could use a big drink now Where The Waters Deep Take me down Where the Water's Deep Down to the river where the waters sweet My jug's bone dry from the desert heat I need to fill it up again Take me down Where the Water's Deep Down to the river where the waters sweet My jug's bone dry from the desert heat I need to fill it up..fill it up again
