That sun's gonna come up only so many times How you spend that precious shine'll show up on down the vine Ya get kudzu on your mind there ain't no room for a rose If you ain't living right you might as well Be standing there with a hose Waterin' the weeds waterin' the weeds Life is a garden love is a seed Oh this world's got a hungry heart with a soul to feed Don't let your well run dry waterin' the weeds That big promotion's got ya going on a faster hamster wheel Ya ain't got time for your kids your wife how proud you must feel And girl them boys that you've been hangin' round Don't treat a lady right If you think your worth is judged by how you look on Friday nights You're waterin' the weeds waterin' the weeds Life is a garden love is a seed Oh this world's got a hungry heart with a soul to feed Don't let your well run dry waterin' the weeds ♪ You don't get that ripe tomato or taste that sweet red wine You don't get to feel that rocking chair rock With the sunset through the pines Any dream ain't worth a hill of beans If that sweat don't kiss your brow No you won't find no better tomorrow if all you're doin' now is Waterin' the weeds waterin' the weeds Life is a garden love is a seed Oh this world's got a hungry heart with a soul to feed Don't let your well run dry waterin' the weeds No don't let your well run dry waterin' the weeds
