Matraca Berg - Tall Drink Of Water lyrics

rate me

You can't run from your blues

You can't waltz across Texas in a beat up Subaru

So I sat a bar down the street from Pete's garage

Then you walked in,like a long legged,sweet mirage

And I could stay till the wells run dry

I could stay till wells run dry

But a tall drink of water ia all I need

A tall drink of water in faded jeans

I could run or I could ask

Could I dip into your loving cup with a crystal glass?

I've been looking for a cowboy with a sense of poetry

I've been looking for a man I want but I don't need

And I could stay till the wells run dry

I could stay till the wells run dry

But a tall drink of water will get me by

A tall drink of water with big dark eyes

Baby nothing's as wild as a woman

With a broken heart

I'm just looking for a place

A place to start

Check the tyres,pump the gas

While the blacktop hisses like a snake in the burning grass

Baby, Amarillo's as hot as a barbecue

But not nearly enough for a man like you

And I could stay till the wells run dry

I could stay till the wells run dry

I could stay till the wells run dry

But a tall drink of water will last for miles

A tall drink of water makes me smile

It makes me smile (Tall drink of water)

Yes a tall drink of water (Tall drink of water)

Tall drink of water (Tall drink of water)

Sure feels good (Tall drink of water)

Thank you baby
