"Crazy Water" lyrics

"Crazy Water"

Hey Sweet Pea, sing Crazy Water, man

In a deserted town
At the corner of Main and Third
There's nothing moving
Not a butterfly nor bird
Used to be some action here
Big motel and movie stars
But it's been like Judgment Day
Trains and planes and fancy cars, well

The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water

They said it would cure you
Much safer than a surgeon's knife
You could shave with it
And take a drink for life
It was the pride of northern Texas
An oasis cool and clean
Now it's just a dirty truck stop
An evaporated dream, well

The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water

People came from miles around
The suckers and the cynics
Hope sprung eternal at the baths
About every twenty minutes, yeah

Babies were baptized
It was good with Scotch and ice
Whatever it did or didn't do
It's probably worth the price
For those who God abandoned
For those too weak to pray
Dreams of health and happiness
Were just a splash away, well

The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
Yeah

The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
The Senator's son
And the President's daughter
All came to town
For that crazy water
