Tall Drink Of Water Lyrics - Matraca Berg

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 ia 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 blacktop 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
