Drive-By Truckers - When The Well Runs Dry lyrics

rate me

There's a sacrifice you make <br />There are people along the way <br />When there's nowhere to run and there's nowhere to stay <br />And the wheels still move <br /> <br />But won't slow down <br />Even when you're spinning in the same soft ground <br />And there's a tear in her eye <br />Because she's known you too long <br />And she can't tell the singer from the whorehouse song <br /> <br />When the well runs dry <br />There's nothing left to say <br />Just throw up your hands and wail all day <br />And everything's fair <br />And you don't like it that way <br />Something has to die <br />When the well runs dry <br /> <br />There's a dancer I used to get <br />By giving her cigarettes <br />She told me that I hadn't quite hurt enough yet <br />So I let her do me wrong <br />But not for very long <br />Then I put her in the mirror and I put her in a song <br /> <br />When the well runs dry <br />There's nothing left to say <br />Throw up your hands and wail all day <br />And everything's fair <br />And you don't like it that way <br />Something has to die <br />When the well runs dry <br /> <br />Sitting here at the top your will is getting weak <br />You let my mind get fattened up <br />Now I'm quiet and I ain't supposed to speak <br />I'll speak up when I've had enough <br /> <br />A singer we used to know <br />He let himself go <br />Played 15 minutes of a sold out show <br />And everybody laughed <br />In the aftermath <br />And he never came back <br />No he never came back <br /> <br />When the well runs dry <br />There's nothing left to say <br />Throw up your hands and wail all day <br />And everything's fair <br />And you don't like it that way <br />Something has to die <br />When the well runs dry<br /><br />
