Gimme Some Water Lyrics - Eddie Money

Mama never understood 

what it`s like for a losing man 

when her number one son goes bad 

playing cards with the devil`s hand 

But daddy got real sick so quick 

for wars i`ll never understand 

i was the one that good with the fun 

took the money from the rich man`s land 

Gimme some water 

cause i shot a man 

on the mexican border 

cool, cool water 

gimme some water 

i need a little water 

Jimmy grew up so fast 

then he met me at the pass one day 

said, you`re a wanted man 

take your brother`s hand 

i`ll be running with you anyway 

So we rode late in the night 

like the fires on the desert sand 

til one day, the posse caught us 

cause the sheriff always gets his man 

Gimme some water 

cause i killed a man 

on the mexican border 

cool, cool water 

i need a little water 

Oh jeez, i just can`t lose my hand 

i`ve run just as fast as my legs can 

but lord, i got no room to run 

shouldn`t have done what 

i did with that big gun 

Hey hey, yeah 

Gimme some water 

cause i killed a man 

on the mexican border 

cool, cool water 

Can`t you see that long white rope 

hanging from the hangman`s tree 

take a restless horse 

tie my hands of course 

tell my mother that i`m finally free 

Let me die like a man 

no one understands 

let me pray that a poor man`s brave 

smacked that horse in the ass 

with my last dying gasp 

my brother could hear me say 

Gimme some water 

cause i shot a man 

on the mexican border 

cool, cool water 

gimme some water 

Gimme some water 

cause i shot a man 

on the mexican border 

cool, cool water 

gimme some water 

Gimme some water 

cause i shot a man 

on the mexican border 

cool, cool water 

gimme some water 

Gimme some water 

cause i killed a man 

on the mexican border 

cool, sweet water 

gimme some water
