The Day The Water Dried Lyrics

Jake had a fight
Pair of polished boots kicked him cold
Jake lost his sight
In the desert sun diggin' for gold

Face in the dust
Empty bottle lies, whiskey dry
Eyes catchin' rust
From the heat, a wave, last goodbye

Lost in the desert
Not a rattlesnake in sight
The cactus cried
The day the water dried

Jake took a ride
On a tumbleweed heaven-sent
Makin' mistakes
Findin' only hell that never ends

Knees in the dust
Empty bottle full of empty lies Gun catchin' rust
From a lack of use, waitin' to die

Lost in the desert
Not a rattlesnake in sight
The cactus cried
The day the water dried
(The water dried)

Jake in the dust
Empty bottle lies, whiskey dry
Jake catching rust
From a lack of use, waitin' to die

Lost in the desert
Not a rattlesnake in sight
The cactus cried
The day the water dried

(And the cactus cried)
(The day the water died)
