Drop Me In The Well Lyrics & Chords By The Rocky Fortune

It happens under streetlights right by all the shut-down stores
After midnight washes over this town's dirty concrete shores
I was working through a hard week, I was working in the rain
So I bought a shot of fire and I threw her in my veins
Put me on a barstool baby
Drop me in the well
And leave me swaying on the curb outside the smokey old hotel
Sometimes you gotta go where the bloods just a little thinner
Where it flows a little faster, and the light's just a little dimmer
Be you rich man be you poor man, be you harlots be you queens
You'll get here on to good feet but you'll go on two bad knees
Put me on a barstool baby
Drop me in the well
And leave me swaying on the curb outside the smokey old hotel
When all you do is drag on through and scrape by to survive
You've gotta almost kill yourself to almost feel alive
But there's answers in these glasses and there's truths behind these walls
And you know I'll be here next week or the next time fire calls
Put me on a barstool baby
Drop me in the well
And leave me swaying on the curb outside the smokey old hotel
