IN THE WATER
Turn your head to the left and you can read between the lines
It’s been ten good years since I seen that city limits sign
And I swore I wouldn’t but it seems I have
And I’m back this time for good or bad probably bad
It was finders keeps but I never liked what I ever found
Just because it’s such a tight circle does it mean I have to keep on comin’ ‘round
and I swore I wouldn’t but its seems I did and I ain’t got the excuse of bein’ a kid any more
curiosity killed this cat it’s all speculation there ain’t no facts
was it in the water was it in my blood
if I knew anything about it would I change it if I could
but if it ain’t the water and it ain’t my blood
what is about this place that makes a boy fall out of love
when gin was a bandage seems I never healed to fast
would you please stop talkin’ to me I’m havin’ trouble makin’ grudges last
And I swore I wouldn’t but I said hello And that’s just the first step from hear who knows
Where it goes
I’m swallowin’ my words so fast I’m havin’ trouble rememberin’ what I said last
was it in the water was it in my blood
if I knew anything about it would I change it if I could
but if it ain’t the water and it ain’t my blood
what is about this place that makes a boy fall out of love
The lights flicker I guess someone got the chair
What deserves a slap on the wrist will get you killed down here
A shadow of pride can cover a place this size
and it’s a long drop off a narrow mind
was it in the water was it in my blood
