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 an I looked to the sky   I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell   I saw the water from a deeper well      Well...lookin for the water from a deeper 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...lookin for the water from a deeper 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 stayed 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   To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well      Well...lookin for the water from a deeper 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 gage   I took my trouble down a deadend trail   Reachin' out a hand for a holier 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...lookin for the water from a deeper well   Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well
