Mudcrutch - Save Your Water lyrics

Well you're right that no one informed ya'
I guess I should have warned ya'
It's all a contest
And you said they all wanted to hide ya'
But when they got deep inside ya'
It's a big mess

And you know me better now and
You see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but
You sold me down your river
And I'm just plain old sandwiched in between
So save your water woman I won't
Drink out of your stream

Well the shouts of a thousand disciples
And the brass Winchester rifles
Brought the house down
And I know that I don't concern you, but
Life's got a way it can burn you
Ya' lose the high ground

You're a match that I have burned, you're
A page that I have turned
And you know the rest
And I'd never steal your water, it
Was your whining boss man's daughter
Your half-brother confessed

Yeah, save your water woman I won't
Drink out of your stream
