Eddie Money Give Me Some Water
Mama never understood what
it's like for a losing man
When her number one son goes bad
playing cards with the Devil's Hand
Daddy got real sick so quick
four walls never understand
I was the one who got good with the gun
took the money from the rich man's land
Give me some water
'cause I shot a man
on the Mexican border
Cool cool water
Give me some water
I need a little water
Jimmy grew up so fast and he
met me at the pass one day
Said "You're a wanted man
take your brother's hand
I'll be running with you anyway"
So we rode late in the night
like fires on the desert sand
Till one day the posse caught us
cause the sheriff always gets his man
Give me some water
'cause I killed a man
on the Mexican border
Cool cool water
I need a little water
Oh geeze if I just get loose my hands
I'd run just as fast as my legs can
But Lord I've got no room to run
Shouldn't have done what
I did without that gun
Give me some water
'cause I killed a man
on the Mexican border
Cool cool water
Guess you see that long white rope
hanging from the hangman's tree
Take the restless horse
tie may hands of course
tell my mother that I'm finally free
Let me die like a man
no one understands
let me pray that a poor man pray
Slap that horse in the ass
with my last dying gasp my
brother could hear me say
Give me some water
'cause I shot a man
on the Mexican border
Cool cool water
Give me some water
