RYAN ADAMS lyrics : "Don't Ask For The Water"

I hate this old place
And what it represents
And I hate who I was

And who I ended up since
But if you learned how to swim in case you'd drowned


Don't ask her for the water
Cause she'll swallow you down


And she's ten miles of peace
And the hardest of nights
And her belfry's got arch

But her rooftops all right
But down here in the sewer
I'm smelling a rat


Don't ask her for the Whiskey
Cause her waters all that


And what horses we rode
Through what somber fields

With our lovers at war
And the dust on their heels
And the infidels screamed, "it's all but a lie"


Don't ask her for the water,
Cause she'll teach you to cry

Don't ask her for the water
Cause she'll teach you to cry


And her weapon of choice is a red-patterned dress
And a sac full of stones
With her hands on her chest

And a book full of quotes
And a tight fastened lip


Don't ask her for the water
Cause you'll sink like a ship
Don't ask her for the water

Cause you'll sink like a ship
