Cracked Plate and Pockets

Verse 1

Woke up

Cold grease on a cracked plate

Headed out the screen door

Sunlight hurts

Heavy shoes

Dusty road

Walked until the soles wore thin

Left my keys

Left my name

Chorus

Ain't no water in the well

Ain't no water in the well

Everything is dry

Lord

Everything is dry

Verse 2

Tired

Holes in my pockets

Rattling a loose tooth

Mama said

Papa lied

Brother went to prison for a dime

Gone

Gone away

Far away

Found a nickel in the mud

Cleaned it on my sleeve

Chorus

Ain't no water in the well

Ain't no water in the well

Everything is dry

Lord

Everything is dry

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow the clouds get heavy

Maybe tomorrow the river gets ready

Maybe tomorrow I'll find a penny

Just a drop

Just a drop

I'm thirsty for the rain

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Wait

Shadows getting longer

Sit on the porch

Watch the crows

Black wings

Sharp beaks

High above the cedar trees

They don't care

No they don't care

I don't care

Chorus

Ain't no water in the well

Ain't no water in the well

Everything is dry

Lord

Everything is dry

Outro

Dry bones

Dry ground

Nothing left to lose

Nothing

Nothing at all
