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
