save your water

well you're right that no one informed you

i guess i should have warned you

it's all a contest

and you said they all wanted to hide you

but when they got deep inside you

it's a big mess

and you know me better now and you see i'm in the middle

and you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river

and i'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between

so save your water woman i won't drink out of your stream

well the shouts of a thousand disciples and the brass winchester rifles brought the house down

and i know that i don't concern you

but life's got a way it can burn you

you lose the high ground

and you know me better now and you see i'm in the middle

and you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river

and i'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between

so save your water woman i won't drink out of your stream

you're a match that i have burned

you're a page that i have turned

and you know the rest

you know i'd never steal your water

it was your whining boss-man's daughter

your half-brother confessed

and you know me better now and you see i'm in the middle

and you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river

and i'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between

so save your water woman i won't drink out of your stream

yeah

save your water woman i won't drink out of your stream
