Well you're right that no one informed you,

I guess I should have warned you, it's all a contest

And you said they all wanted to hide you,

But when they got deep inside you, it's a big mess



And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle

And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river

And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between

So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream



Well the shouts of a thousand disciples and the brass Winchester rifles brought the house down

And I know that I don't concern you, but life's got a way it can burn you, you lose the high ground



And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle

And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river

And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between

So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream



You're a match that I have burned, you're a page that I have turned, and you know the rest

You know I'd never steal your water, it was your whining boss-man's daughter, your half-brother confessed



And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle

And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river

And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between

So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream

Yeah, save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream.
