"Tall Drink Of Water" lyrics

I was holed up down in Texas in the middle of July
With a big old thirsty moon hanging heavy in the sky
When a sudden wild wind blew a stranger along
With dust on his heart and honey on his tongue

Well, I was ready for some thunder 'cause that Friday night was slow
There's more to life than watching armadillos cross the road
I saw him and I knew he'd be a story to tell
The living, breathing end of my long dry spell

He was a tall drink of water straight out of Abilene
Six feet of country walking right into my dream
He was like a river rolling but I slowed him down a lot
He was a tall drink of water and I drank every drop

He was cool and gentle, knew what love was all about
He wore a hundred records and that old moon out
As he fired up his truck and rode off into the dawn
I felt another long, hot dry spell coming on

He was a tall drink of water straight out of Abilene
Six feet of country walking right into my dream
He was like a river rolling but I slowed him down a lot
He was a tall drink of water straight out of Abilene
Six feet of country walking right into my dream
He was like a river rolling but I slowed him down a lot
He was a tall drink of water and I drank every drop

He was a tall drink of water and I drank every drop

Sure could use another glass of that
