dead in the water - anne wilson lyrics

[verse 1]
he’d been there all happy hour, spinning a two*year chip on the counter
i picked the stool to his left and asked him, “what’s that in your hand?”
he said, “it’s an all*night conversation bout a man too gone for saving
who traded in everything he loved for a buzz that didn’t love him”
he said, “only light i saw was neon in a dive off of west end
i was all out of hope at the end of my rope
i knew it was sink or swim, i was

[chorus]
dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
i was a goner, that’s when i heard him
whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m
i said, amen
i poured out the bottle, found something stronger
whеn i didn’t wanna live any longer
i crawled down to that muddy rivеrside
dead in the water
and i walked out alive”

[verse 2]
he said, “i come back here to remember who i was before that river
washed away the h*ll that held me down so long, oh
now i share my testimony with the whiskey bent and the lonely
who think that they don’t have a prayer
lord knows i’ve been there”
[chorus]
dead in the water, drowning in bourbon
i was a goner, that’s when i heard him
whisper to my soul at 2:00 a.m
i said, “amen”
i poured out the bottle, found something stronger
when i didn’t wanna live any longer
i crawled down to that muddy riverside
dead in the water
and i walked out alive

[verse 3]
i walked out alive
there’s a way to leave behind
everywhere you’ve ever been
there’s a well that won’t run dry
you’ll never thirst again

[bridge]
come to the water, bring all your hurting
come as you are and lay down your burdens
just call on jesus’ name at 2:00 a.m., and say “amen”
pour out the bottle, there’s something stronger
don’t have to live this way any longer
just crawl down to that muddy riverside
dead in the water
and you’ll walk out alive
you’ll walk out alive
hallelujah
