Blitzen Trapper - Thirsty Man lyrics

Well I been drivin' all night
On a road to nowhere with the devils convoy
Black smoke upon my tracks
Girl, I hardly knew you
But I could never fool you
You was always sittin' still while the
World raced to it's grave

And when the mornin' breaks
I be drivin' wide awake
'Cause, I've been runnin' so long I can't
Recall what it means to stay
'Cause, I let you slip away like
Water out through my hands
Oh, baby, your love's like rain in
A desert to a thirsty man, thirsty man

You know I seen the mountains
And the flatlands too
I seen all these city streets
But I still go out searchin' for you
Now, in the captain's chamber
There's a ball and chain
You can run for a million miles
But you'll never outrun your name
And when the mornin' breaks I
Be drivin' wide awake
'Cause, I been runnin' so long I can't
Recall what it means to stay

And all the children sing
And all the old men sing
It's better to love and lose than to
Gain a world on a string
Yes I let you slip away like
Water out through my hands oh, baby
Your love's like rain in a
Desert to a thirsty man
Yeah, thirsty man, yeah

And when the mornin' breaks I
Be drivin' wide awake
'Cause, I been runnin' so long I can't
Recall what it means to stay
'Cause, I let you slip away like
Water out through my hands oh, honey
Your love's like rain in a
Desert to a thirsty man yeah, thirsty man
