The Well

I was just a young'n bouncin' on my mama's knee
Said, "Son, there's only one thing that sets your soul free"
Wasn't no easy street where I come from
There wasn't no sleep until the work was done

Papa was a preachin' 'bout the fires of hell
If you want a drink of water, got to go to the well
The cornerstone church tried to curse my soul
But the good Lord gave me that rock and roll

Let the spirit pull me under, to the bottom of the well
If you wanna live forever, but you never can tell
So one for the money, two another show
Three for the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
