[Verse 1]
In '81 I was just a drink on the shelf, a daiquiri
Not even a thought 'til sometime in July
Sometime in July
And something happened in '84
I ended up with two places to be from
The only tree with leaves in Lubbock
With roots in mineral wells
Mineral wells
[Chorus]
At night I dream I'm in the Brazos River
Pines and cypress, the west cross timbers
And oh, I know it shows
I'm another one still thirsting for my home
[Verse 2]
There's a spot under the train track trestles
The water's too deep to stand in
And you were there once
We climb the sandstone and jump in
Hold your breath and jump in
We take the airboat to way upstream
The heat's tiring and I fall asleep in my folding chair
I dreamed dad was smoking cigarettes
He always had one hanging from his lips
[Chorus]
At night I dream I'm in the Brazos River
Pines and cypress, the west cross timbers
And oh, I know it shows
I'm another one still thirsting for my
[Bridge]
I've tried drinking water from the Gibson well
Folks before me say it cures what ails you
I think it might be true that there's something in the well
In mineral wells
[Chorus]
And at night I dream I'm in the Brazos River
Pines and cypress, the west cross timbers
And oh, I know it shows
I'm another one still thirsting for my home
