Deep Water Lyrics - Singles - Nicki Bluhm And The Gramblers

There I was in Arizona 

playing stud with a dead man's hand 

In the thick of a nasty downswing 

Getting coffee-housed by a well dress man 

But my main concern was a big stack 

Who knocked a times then he let him down 

I knew right then it wasn't going to be pretty 

I had to vamoose but I didn't know how. 

Thought I was cool as a cactus 

holding trips, waiting for the ace 

My poker face I guess needs some practice. 

I finally learned how deep water tastes 

I got stopped in Salt Lake City 

I was trying to pass when I heard the howl 

That policeman said "you sure are pretty" 

It's a gawl-darn shame I gotta take you down 

Thought I was free as a pheasant, 

flying low chasing my dreams 

It's kinda strange out there in the desert. 

I finally learned what deep water means. 

Thought I was free as a pheasant, 

flying low chasing my dreams 

It's kinda strange out there in the desert. 

I finally learned what deep water means. 

I finally learned what deep water means.
