Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh

Mmm

Oh oh

Verse 1

Dry grass crunching under my worn out boot

Red sun sinking low

A canteen rattlings empty in my trembling hand

Cactus shadow tall

Pre-Chorus

No trail to follow

No creek to find

No shade to borrow

Chorus

Searching for water under the burning heat

Searching for water across the salt flats

I keep searching for water till my spirit gives

Just searching for water

Post-Chorus

La la la

Oh thirsty man

La la la

Verse 2

Buzzards circle slow while they watch the ridge

Iron sights reflecting glare

I reckon that luck is a long way off

Tumbleweed rolls by

Pre-Chorus

No trail to follow

No creek to find

No shade to borrow

Chorus

Searching for water under the burning heat

Searching for water across the salt flats

I keep searching for water till my spirit gives

Just searching for water

Post-Chorus

La la la

Oh thirsty man

La la la

Bridge

Maybe my pony comes back for me

Maybe my luck turns around today

Maybe the rain starts to fall down cold

Chorus

Searching for water under the burning heat

Searching for water across the salt flats

I keep searching for water till my spirit gives

Just searching for water

Post-Chorus

La la la

Oh thirsty man

La la la
