The well · letra

Well, it happened about a year ago A little church where I live Had me a drink of that living water Only God can give I came home, my family just stared at me And I knew what they was thinking My daddy just put his hands on his hips And said, "Boy, from what have you been drinking?" "Was it a bottle?" I said, "No" "Was it a vat?" I said, "No" He said, "Where have you been drinking at?"
I've been drinking from the well The well, the well that the world knows not of It's that life giving, living water that flows from God above Well, you can't find on Wall Street, this sweet release It's worth more than all the oil in the Middle East Well, there's nothing alcoholic that makes me feel no pain It's the Holy Ghost and fire flowing through my veins It's the well, the well The well that never shall run dry
New Year's Eve, I came skipping home I waltzed in through the door My brother Joe-Joe could hardly talk Laying drunk on the floor He said, "Hey, where've you been at you look so good?" I said, "I was in church since 8:02" He said, "Uh, don't give me that". "Even I can tell, there's something potent inside of you". "Expensive liquor?" I said, "No". "That homemade junk" I said, "No" He said, "How'd you get so drunk?"
When the economy drops and falls, I'll still be drinking When the taxman comes to talk, I'll still be drinking My friends don't want me around, I'll still be drinking When I'm laughed at all over town, I'll still be drinking Satan may even attack, but I'll still be drinking Even when I'm lying down on my back, I'll still be drinking The devil may hate and loathe me, but I'll still be drinking 'Cause my God will always be the glory 'Cause I've been drinking from the well, the well The well that never shall run dry
