Chilly Water Lyrics - Widespread Panic

In the easy chair with my boots on 

Melted whiskey in my hand 

I couldn't have been asleep for more than three hours 

Time to go to work again 

Once more I beat the sunrise 

And there's a dark breeze at my door 

Raise the water from the well up to my face 

How could a man like me be poor? 

As long as there's water 

Chilly wet water 

Gimme some of that cool water 

Well, my horse's eyes are glassy 

He breathed the city in his lungs last night 

I lead his natural body 

To the trough to regain his might 

Red rooster crow them blues here 

That Old Blue he round the bull 

And the mornin's crying rays of sunrise 

It hasn't rained for three weeks full 

As long as there's water 

Chilly well water 

Gimme some of that cool, cool water 

Venus light is rising 

I lay my buckets inside the shed 

And there's a man I see - a stranger 

Leaning on the gate outside my fence 

Said "I'm riding out from the city 

Where they started holding water back last night 

I was hoping I could get a drink from your well 

Before I ride on to another city tonight" 

Before I ride on to another city tonight 

Before I ride on to another city tonight 

Chilly well, chilly well water 

Cool well, chilly well water 

Before I ride on
