Matraca Berg Tall Drink Of Water lyrics

You can't run from your blues
You can't waltz across Texas in a beat up Subaru
So I sat a bar, down the street from Pete's garage
Then you walked in, like a long legged, sweet mirage

And I could stay till the wells run dry
I could stay till wells run dry
But a tall drink of water is all I need
A tall drink of water in faded jeans

I could run or I could ask
Could I dip into your loving cup with a crystal glass?
I've been looking for a cowboy with a sense of poetry
I've been looking for a man I want but I don't need

And I could stay till the wells run dry
I could stay till the wells run dry
But a tall drink of water will get me by
A tall drink of water with big, dark eyes

Baby, nothing's as wild as a woman
With a broken heart
I'm just looking for a place
A place to start


Check the tyres, pump the gas
While the black top hisses like a snake in the burning grass
Baby, Amarillo's as hot as a barbecue
But not nearly enough for a man like you

And I could stay till the wells run dry
I could stay till the wells run dry
I could stay till the wells run dry
But a tall drink of water will last for miles
A tall drink of water makes me smile

It makes me smile
(Tall drink of water)
Yes, a tall drink of water
(Tall drink of water)

Tall drink of water
(Tall drink of water)
Sure feels good
(Tall drink of water)

Thank you, baby
