We take a lot of things for granted One day it'll be taken away That's when you'll realize How important it was You never miss your water Till your well runs dry Give thanks and praise all the time The wolf is always by the door [Chorus:] You don't know what you've got Till you lose it all again You never miss your water Till your well runs dry He's a hero, now that he's dead Oh what a bull preacherman talks about him When he was alive He didn't even know his name When he was alive He didn't get this love You never miss your water Till your well runs dry [Chorus:] You don't know what you've got Till you lose it again You never lose your water Till your well runs dry
