The Well - Dirtwire, Rising Appalachia

woke up and the well was dry

27 vultures in the sky

i don’t know when and i don’t know why

this is the year that the well went dry

i ate dust and dirt too many days

if i don’t get a drink someone’s gonna pay

the trees all died and withered away

wild fires came and set them all ablaze

i don’t know how much longer i got

time to hit the road and find another spot

when the rain comes it all washes away

we lift our heads and this is what we say

the ranch is run down to the bone

and i can’t get a god damn loan

i’ll dig this hole till the day i die

this is the year that the well went dry

i don’t know how much longer i got

time to hit the road and find another spot

when the rain comes it all washes away

we lift our heads and this is what we say

poison steals my last breath

rattle snakes can eat my flesh

it was a rough ride until the end

but you know i’d do it again

i don’t know how much longer i got

time to hit the road and find another spot

when the rain comes it all washes away

we lift our heads and this is what we say
