American Aquarium - Water In the Well lyrics

Dear Heavenly Father, what have I done?
Used to have it all, now I'm left with none
The Great State of Georgia took the farm away
Because of the bills that I could not pay

My family's name has been here since 1833
A hundred years of sweat and
Blood handed down to me
So every day I work these fields
And every night I pray the rain
The rain don't ever come and I
Doubt any's on the way

Oh, what will I do when all else fails?
What will I do when no water's in the well?
Oh, what will I do when
There's nothing left to sell?
Oh, what will I do? Only time will tell

I hear there's work in Richmond
And some in New Orleans
But outside that Clarke County line is
A world I've never seen
The papers say that the times are
Tough and money's runnin' low
But the bottom doesn't look so bad
When the bottom's all you know

Oh, what will I do when all else fails?
What will I do when no water's in the well?
Oh, what will I do when
There's nothing left to sell?
Oh, what will I do? Only time will tell

Dear Heavenly Father
I've come before you now
A bottle's in my left hand
A pistol's to my brow
The preacher says salvation will cleanse
All my bad deeds
But, I could never forgive myself
For failin' my family

What will I do when all else fails?
What will I do when no water's in the well?
Oh, what will I do when
There's nothing left to sell?
Oh, what will I do? Only time will tell
