Eddie Money - Give Me Some Water Lyrics
Mama never understood what it's like for a losing manWhen her number one son goes bad playing cards with the Devil's HandDaddy got real sick so quick - four walls never understandI was the one who got good with the gun - took the money from the rich man's landGive me some water 'cause I shot a man on the Mexican borderCool, cool waterGive me some waterI need a little waterJimmy grew up so fast and he met me at the pass one daySaid, "You're a wanted man. Take your brother's hand - I'll be running with you, anyway."So we rode late in the night like fires on the desert sand'til one day the posse caught us 'cause the sheriff always gets his manGive me some water 'cause I killed a man on the Mexican borderCool, cool waterI need a little waterOh, geeze, if I just get loose my handsI'd run just as fast as my legs canBut, Lord, I've got no room to runShouldn't have done what I did without that gunGive me some water 'cause I killed a man on the Mexican borderCool, cool waterGuess you see that long, white rope hanging from the hangman's treeTake the restless horse; tie may hands, of course; tell my mother that I'm finally freeLet me die like a man - no one understands; let me pray that a poor man praySlap that horse in the ass; with my last dying gasp my brother could hear me sayGive me some water 'cause I shot a man on the Mexican borderCool, cool waterGive me some water
