Black Water

BLACK WATER
IT'S 5AM IN THE MORNING
AND THE RAIN IS POURING DOWN
I'M PARKED ON THE STATE LINE
OF ANOTHER LONELY TOWN
STOOD AT THE CROSSROADS
SEEMS I'VE BEEN THIS WAY BEFORE
AND IT MAKES ME WONDER
WHAT THE HELL I'M RUNNING FOR

HEY I HEAR YA BLACK WATER
CALLING ME DOWN TO THE SOUTHERN LAND
MISSISSIPPI MOON SHINE DOWN ON ME
WHY CAN I NOT BREAK FREE
YOU SURE GOT A HOLD ON ME
BLACK WATER I'M COMING HOME

TIRED OF CHASING RAINBOWS
I KNOW THAT GOOD TIMES NEVER LAST
LEAST I GOT TO LIVE MY LIFE
WE'RE ALL VICTIMS OF OUR PAST
YEAH THIS OLE WORLD CAN BRING YOU DOWN
TURN THAT SMILE INTO A FROWN
WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST
I FEEL YOU TAKE A HOLD OF ME
AND I SAY

CHORUS

THOUGH I TRY TO RUN
I'M TETHERED TO THE PAST
I GUESS I KNEW
BLACK WATER CALLS TO ME
SHE'S THE ONE THAT HAUNTS MY DREAMS
YEAH I'M COMING HOME

CHORUS"
