The sun was hot, it burned my eyes.

Burned so hot I thought I'd died.

Thought I'd died and gone to Hell,

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well.



I went to the river, but the river was dry.

I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky.

I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell;

I saw the water from a deeper well.



Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well.

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well.



I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage,

I sthose walls and I rattled that cage.

I took my trouble down a deadened trail,

Reachin' out a hand for a Holier grail.



Hey there mama, did you carry that load?

Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road?

'Bout the rebel yell, 'bout the one that fell,

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well.



Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well.

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well.

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well.

Well, lookin' for the water, yeah.



Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well,

Well, lookin' for the water.

Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well,

Well, well, well, well...
