Old Dominion Water My Flowers
[Verse 1]
Soul as empty as a whiskey glass
Bed as cold as it can be
I've been waking up alone too long
Lonely ain't got nothin' on me
Heart as hollow as an old dead hickory
The ramblin' man in me is dyin'
Still ain't found the one to settle me down
But it ain't from a lack of trying
No, it ain't from a lack of trying
[Chorus]
'Cause every night, I close my eyes
And pray for something I can hold on to
Where she at, and what do I gotta do?
Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers?
Who's gonna cry my name
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground
And I meet my higher power?
Who's gonna water my flowers?
[Verse 2]
Sand is slippin' through the hourglass
Therе's a number on my nights and days
I need a brown-eyed baby
Comе around and save me
'Cause I can't go on this way
No, I ain't going out this way
[Chorus]
Every night, I close my eyes
And pray for something I can hold on to
Where she at? What do I gotta do?
Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers?
Who's gonna cry my name
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground
And I meet my higher power?
Who's gonna water my flowers?
[Bridge]
Is it too much to ask
For something that will last?
Yeah, long after I'm gone
And I've sang the last of my songs
Who's gonna water my flowers?
[Chorus]
Every night I close my eyes
And pray for something I can hold on to
Where she at, what do I gotta do
Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers
Who's gonna cry my name
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground
And I'm in my final hour
Who's gonna water my flowers
