Deeper Well

[Verse 1] The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes Burned so hot I thought I'd died Thought I'd died and gone to hell Looking for the water from a deeper well [Verse 2] I went to the river, but the river was dry I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky Looked to the sky and the spring rain fell I saw the water from a deeper well [Chorus] Well, looking for the water from a deeper well Well, looking for the water from a deeper well [Verse 3] I was ready for love, I was ready for the money Ready for the blood and ready for the honey Ready for the winning, ready for the bell Looking for the water from a deeper well [Verse 4] I found some love and I found some money Found that blood would drip from the honey Found I had a thirst that I could not quell Looking for the water from a deeper well [Chorus] Well, looking for the water from a deeper well Well, looking for the water from a deeper well [Verse 5] Well, I did it for kicks and I did it for hate I did it for lust and I did it for faith Did it for need and I did it for love Addiction stayed on tight like a glove [Verse 6] So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night And the three of us were a terrible sight Nipple to the bottle to the gun to the cell To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well [Chorus] Well, looking for the water from a deeper well Well, looking for the water from a deeper well [Verse 7] I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage I shook those walls and I rattled that cage I took my trouble down a dead-end trail Reaching out a hand for a holier grail [Verse 8] Hey there, mama, did you carry that load? Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road? About the rebel yell, about the one that fell Looking for the water from a deeper well [Chorus] Well, looking for the water from a deeper well Well, looking for the water from a deeper well
