Randall Bramblett - Dead in the Water lyrics

I run out of gas on the Huey Long Bridge And the moon was drownin' in the mud Don't think about walkin' back to town Don't think about jumpin' it's too far down Dead in the water Hidin in a whisper tree Preacher on the corner Shoutin' to an empty street Mama been flyin Drinkin that benzedrine She's scrubbin the floor with a toothbrush But she just can't get it clean Dead in the water Hidin in a whisper tree Man on the corner Shoutin to an empty street Hey, hey Hidin' in the saw gra** Drinkin' from a shot gla** While the black wind howls While the police scowl Starin at the night sky While you're makin up a good lie When the lights come on you got to be strong Better think of something sweet 'Fore they put you in the back seat Dead in the water
