Thirsty Man

(album: VII - 2013)

Well I been driving all night, on a road to nowhere
With the devils convoy, black smoke upon my tracks
Girl, I hardly knew you, but I could never fool you
You was always sitting still while the world raced to its grave

And when the morning breaks, I be driving wide awake
'Cause I've been running so long I can't recall what it means to stay
'Cause I let you slip away like water out through my hands
Oh, baby, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man, thirsty man

You know I seen the mountains and the flatlands too
I seen all these city streets, but I still go out searching for you
Now, in the captain's chamber, there's a ball and chain
You can run for a million miles but you'll never outrun your name
And when the morning breaks I be driving wide awake
'Cause I been running so long I can't recall what it means to stay

And all the children sing, and all the old men sing
It's better to love and lose than to gain a world on a string
Yes I let you slip away like water out through my hands
Oh, baby, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man
(Yeah, thirsty man, yeah)

And when the morning breaks I be driving wide awake
'Cause I been running so long I can't recall what it means to stay
'Cause I let you slip away like water out through my hands
Oh, honey, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man
(Yeah, thirsty man)
