"Cold Water" lyrics
"Cold Water"
Well, I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold
Police at the station and they don't look friendly
Well, they don't look friendly
Well, they don't look friendly
Police at the station and they don't look friendly
They don't look friendly
Well, they don't
Blind or crippled, sharp or dull
I'm reading the Bible by a 40 watt bulb
What price freedom? Dirt is my rug
Well, I sleep like a baby with the snakes and the bugs
Well, the stores are open but I ain't got no money
I ain't got no money
Well, I ain't got no money
Stores are open but I ain't got no money
Well, I ain't got no money
Well I ain't
Found an old dog and he seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well, he seems to like me
Found an old dog and he seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well, he seems
Seen them fellows with the cardboard signs
Scrapin' up a little money, to buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women and the Vietnam vets I say
Beggin' on the freeway 'bout as hard as it gets
Well, I slept in the graveyard, it was cool and still
Cool and still
It was cool and still
Slept in the graveyard, it was cool and still
Cool and still
And it was cool
Slept all night in a cedar grove
I was born to ramble, born to rove
Some men are searchin' for the Holy Grail
But there ain't nothin' sweeter than a-ridin' the rails
I look 47 but I'm 24
Well, they shooed me away from here the time before
Turned their backs and they locked their doors
I'm watching T.V. in the window of a furniture store
And I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold
Well, I woke up this morning with the cold water
Cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning with the cold water
Cold water
With the cold
