Down to the Well (solo demo version)

(Kevin Gordon/Colin Linden)

It’s mud-covered dogs guarding shotgun shacks

A red door on a green Cadillac

Hot wind blowing smoke through graveyard streets
A face I recognize looking right through me

Ain’t goin’ down to the well no more
Believe I’ve done my time

I lost something that I had before
Something I don’t want to find

You must’ve played that dive twenty some-odd years
Took a couple hundred shots just to kill your fear

I remember the night you broke down to the core

Threw that black Stratocaster through a plate-glass door

Ain’t goin’ down to the well no more
Believe I’ve had my fill

Save my soul from the bottom, Lord
Or send me someone who will

See that woman in the corner, brother, she knows
Every inch of my body, every mile of my soul

We used to shake ‘em on down til the blazin’ day
What’s she doin here tonight watching me that way

Ain’t goin’ down to the well no more
Believe I’ve done my time

I lost something that I had before
Something I don’t want to find

Ain’t goin’ down to the well no more
Think I had my fill

Save my soul from the bottom, Lord
Or send me someone who will

To the well no more . . .
Ain’t goin’ down to the well no more
