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
