Dead In The Water Lyrics - Devil Music - Randall Bramblett

I run out of gas on the Huey Long Bridge 

And the moon was drownin' in the mud 

Don't think about walkin' back to town 

Don't think about jumpin' it's too far down 

Dead in the water 

Hidin in a whisper tree 

Preacher on the corner 

Shoutin' to an empty street 

Mama been flyin 

Drinkin that benzedrine 

She's scrubbin the floor with a toothbrush 

But she just can't get it clean 

Dead in the water 

Hidin in a whisper tree 

Man on the corner 

Shoutin to an empty street 

Hey, hey 

Hidin' in the saw grass 

Drinkin' from a shot glass 

While the black wind howls 

While the police scowl 

Starin at the night sky 

While you're makin up a good lie 

When the lights come on you got to be strong 

Better think of something sweet 

'Fore they put you in the back seat 

Dead in the water
