Steep Canyon Rangers - When The Well Runs Dry lyrics
rate me(Verse)
It's all lit up like Christmas
And there's a skyline of flame
Middle high light lights up the prairie night
Right on the way out to the flames
Out on the low horizon, the sunrise burns my eyes
Shining on fur petangles, and the flat bed's hauling pipe
(Chorus)
We all need the money, babe, and I can't love
There's no time to wonder what'll happen when the well runs dry
(verse 2)
This whole town's made of trains
And the trains stretch two miles long
Some guys phone the money home
Or they drink until it's gone
Ranch hands are learned to rough neck
And the men lined up to work
There's another boom but there ain't no room
So they sleep out in the trucks
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Sometimes I feel like I'm turning the wheel
My dad took me down to an old ghost town when I was five years old
With their minds bled and their dreams in their heads
Until the river ran out of gold
I look up and miles are burning red
And God knows how much it's worth
Then the stars go black and the sun comes back
And it's time to go to work
(Chorus x2)
