The day the water dried lyrics

Jake had a fight Pair of polished boots kicked him cold Jake lost his sight In the desert sun diggin' for gold Face in the dust Empty bottle lies, whiskey dry Eyes catchin' rust From the heat, a wave, last goodbye Lost in the desert Not a rattlesnake in sight The cactus cried The day the water dried Jake took a ride On a tumbleweed heaven-sent Makin' mistakes Findin' only hell that never ends Knees in the dust Empty bottle full of empty lies Gun catchin' rust From a lack of use, waitin' to die Lost in the desert Not a rattlesnake in sight The cactus cried The day the water dried (The water dried) Jake in the dust Empty bottle lies, whiskey dry Jake catching rust From a lack of use, waitin' to die Lost in the desert Not a rattlesnake in sight The cactus cried The day the water dried (And the cactus cried) (The day the water died)
