Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail
Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell
I went to the river but the river was dry

'Bout the rebel yell, 'bout the one that fell
I saw the water from a deeper well
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I found some love and I found some money
So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night
I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage

To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well
I did it for lust and I did it for faith

Looked to the sky and the spring rain fell
Took my trouble down a dead end trail
Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Nipple to the bottle, to the gun, to the cell

Well, I did it for kicks and I did it for hate

I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky
Found I had a thirst that I could not quell
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Hey there, mama, did you carry that load
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Ready for the blood and ready for the honey
And the three of us were a terrible sight
I was ready for love, I was ready for the money
Found that blood would drip from the honey
I shook those walls and I rattled that gage
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I did it for need and I did it for love
Addiction stayed on tight like a glove
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Thought I'd died and gone to hell
