Richmond Fontaine - The Water Wars lyrics

My roommate was sleeping I took his keys and $100 Headed out till his car broke down outside of Tombstone Went on a bender I ended up in the can No use calling anyone, they gave up on me years ago The West is sprawling from the Northwest central valley away I lived in Las Vegas then I made my way through the Sunbelt states The West is sprawling it's falling just as hard as I am Got a job in a warehouse in L.A. Growing faster now than rows I was loading boxes that no one needs and I can't afford Once again I give up and leave before I even begin The West is falling The Water Wars have just begun And the West is falling Just strip malls and planned estates The west is falling Falling just as fast as I am I ended up in the back of a truck with a guy who had two black eyes He was drunk and laughing At an Indian Casino Maybe they'll finally get their revenge Took a drink and he laughed again The West is sprawling from the Northwest central valley away I lived in Las Vegas then I made my way through the Sunbelt states The West is falling The Water Wars have just begun Wait until the aquifers are done And the West is falling The West is falling The West is falling
