Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sun burned hot
It burned my eyes
Burned so hot
I thought I'd died
[Verse 2]
Thought I'd died
And gone to Hell
Lookin' for the water
From a deeper well
[Verse 3]
I went to the river
But the river was dry
I fell to my knees
And I looked to the sky
[Verse 4]
Looked to the sky
And the spring rain fell
I saw the water
From a deeper well
[Chorus]
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
[Verse 5]
I was ready for love
I was ready for the money
Ready for the blood
And ready for the honey
[Verse 6]
Ready for the winnin'
Ready for the bell
Lookin' for the water
From a deeper well
[Verse 7]
I found some love
And I found some money
Found that blood would
Drip from the honey
[Verse 8]
Found I had a thirst
That I could not quell
Lookin' for the water
From a deeper well
[Chorus]
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
[Verse 9]
Well, I did it for kicks
And I did it for hate
I did it for lust
And I did it for faith
[Verse 10]
Did it for need
And I did it for love
Addiction stayed
On tight like a glove
[Verse 11]
So I ran with the moon
And I ran with the night
And the three of us
Were a terrible sight
[Verse 12]
Nipple to the bottle
To the gun, to the cell
To the bottom of a hole
Of a deeper well
[Chorus]
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
[Verse 13]
I rocked with the cradle
And I rolled with the rage
I shook those walls
And I rattled that cage
[Verse 14]
Took my trouble
Down a dead-end trail
Reachin' out a hand
For a holier grail
[Verse 15]
Hey there, mama
Did you carry that load?
Did you tell your baby
'Bout the bend in the road
[Verse 16]
'Bout the rebel yell
'Bout the one that fell?
Lookin' for the water
From a deeper well
[Chorus]
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
