The Day the Water Dried - Century

Jake had a fight

Pair of polished boots kicked him cold

Jake lost his sight

In the desert sun diggin' for gold

Face in the dust

Empty bottle lies, whiskey dry

Eyes catchin' rust

From the heat, a wave, last goodbye

Lost in the desert

Not a rattlesnake in sight

The cactus cried

The day the water dried

Jake took a ride

On a tumbleweed heaven-sent

Makin' mistakes

Findin' only hell that never ends

Knees in the dust

Empty bottle full of empty lies

Gun catchin' rust

From a lack of use, waitin' to die

Lost in the desert

Not a rattlesnake in sight

The cactus cried

The day the water dried

(The water dried)

Jake in the dust

Empty bottle lies, whiskey dry

Jake catching rust

From a lack of use, waitin' to die

Lost in the desert

Not a rattlesnake in sight

The cactus cried

The day the water dried

(And the cactus cried)

(the day the water died)
