[Sock Water]

Huh, this one I love to play, I'm still learning it, uh

I made it up with, I was in this group called "The Hardworking American"

We were some serious old hippies, some tripping hippies, man

We were the only guys left our age that still wanted to party like it was 1999

We were still psychedelic at the time, we were very into it

I went through a heavy hallucinogenic drug phase

And one of the nights we werе, the band was all together

And I had told thеm about a dream I had about

The cabin out by Johnny Cash's house

So they got it hooked up, so we could crash out there overnight

I think we all thought we might get a song, you know?

So we went out there and our leader Dave pulls out this bottle of water

And says, "It's sacred, " and we all know what he meant

Put a little wristband around it or something to

To make sure you knew it wasn't just normal water, and we all took a sip of it

Pretty soon we're playing bongos, and we'll have our shirts on

Everything feels important and pumpkin-eyed and

And, uh, Dave was like, "Let's do a song, " and

I remember thinking like, "Like what? Like, uh, what song?"

You know, Margaritaville or, uh, I know 'em all fuck

I know all of 'em, but he meant a new one, right?

And so, I'm like, "Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to do that"

You know, my songs take a while that me

That one even was a B double E for a really long time

Just sat there staring at it for months and I went

Double R, fuck me running, double R

Had Bob and Tom on the phone before I fucking finished it

So I thought, fuck it, he said, "Let's just give it a try"

So I said, "All right, " I'm tripping balls

I'm 51 years old at the time, just pie-eyed, hallucinating like a fool

Walking around in the middle of the night

In the woods looking for a song out there

Jesus, there's never, ever been a mother in the history of the universe

That hoped that became of her son

Or a child that hoped that became of their parent

But it was for work, man

But I really did, I started singing to myself

And seeing if I could hear myself say stuff

And I, I heard at one point, I said
