Crazy Water

Hey Sweet Pea, sing Crazy Water, man

In a deserted town

At the corner of Main and Third

There's nothing moving

Not a butterfly nor bird

Used to be some action here

Big motel and movie stars

But it's been like Judgment Day

Trains and planes and fancy cars, well

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

They said it would cure you

Much safer than a surgeon's knife

You could shave with it

And take a drink for life

It was the pride of northern Texas

An oasis cool and clean

Now it's just a dirty truck stop

An evaporated dream, well

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

People came from miles around

The suckers and the cynics

Hope sprung eternal at the baths

About every twenty minutes, yeah

Babies were baptized

It was good with Scotch and ice

Whatever it did or didn't do

It's probably worth the price

For those who God abandoned

For those too weak to pray

Dreams of health and happiness

Were just a splash away, well

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

Yeah

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water

The Senator's son

And the President's daughter

All came to town

For that crazy water
