Lee Roy Parnell - Giving Water to a Drowning Man lyrics

Lee Roy Parnell Miscellaneous Giving Water to a Drowning Man I appreciate the sweet kind words Girl, you're lookin good tonight Had you come around not so long ago I'm sure we'd have had us a time But I got someone givin me More love than I'll ever need Girl, you got to understand Chorus 1: It'd be like giving water to a drowning man Building a fire on the desert sand Tellin old Noah all about the flood Catfish hearin' bout the Mississippi mud You wanna give me lovin And I'm sure that you can But it's like givin water to a drownin man Lots of pretty women in this town, but I don't give a second look It's just a waste of time Starin at the cover when you've already read the book 'Cause ever since the day we met I've been in over my head No one loves me like she can Chorus 2: It'd be like givin water to a drownin man Tellin Merle Haggard bout a one-night-stand Cussin at the devil Preachin at the choir Throwin a lighted match on a ragin fire My baby gives me more love than one man can stand It's like givin water to a drownin man I got someone givin me More love than I'll ever need Girl, you got to understand Repeat Chorus 1 Repeat Chorus 2
