A Deeper Well - Manny Charlton

The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes

Burned so hot I thought I’d died

Thought I’d died and gone to hell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I went to the river but the river was dry

I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky

I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell

I saw the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well…

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well…

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I was ready for love I was ready for the money

Ready for the blood and ready for the honey

Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

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

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well…

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well…

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well I did it for kicks and I did it for faith

I did it for lust and I did it for hate

I did it for need and I did it for love

Addiction stays on tight like a glove

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

Down to the bottom of a deeper well

Well, well, well, well…

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well…

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

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

Reachin' out a hand for a holy grail

Hey there mama did you carry that load

Did you tell your baby bout the bend in the road

Bout the rebel yell bout the one that fell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well…

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well…

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
