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
