about

A collaboration with Geoff Matthews who wrote the words

lyrics

VERSE

He’s cruising down the highway.
Cutting up a storm.
Loving on the cut and run.
Just to keep things warm.
He won’t care about her.
Numbers in a game.
When there’s a snake there’s a ladder
His rules remain the same.

PRE-CHORUS

When the chips are done
And the time has come.
He’ll look her (you) in the eye.
And say ‘This well is dry.’

CHORUS

This well is dry.
Is all that he’ll be thinking.
This well is dry.
He’ll tell her without blinking.
Tomorrow is just a bye the bye.
But today I got to fly.
This well is dry.

VERSE

He sees her by the roadside
Shoes look kind of worn
Got that look he knows so well
Carefree but forlorn.

Won’t think twice before she
Opens up the door.
His predatory instincts
Will kick in like before.

PRE-CHORUS

When the chips are done
And the time has come.
He’ll look you (her) the eye.
And say ‘This well is dry.’

CHORUS

This well is dry.
Is all that he’ll be thinking.
This well is dry.
He’ll tell her without blinking.
Tomorrow is just bye the bye.
But today I got to fly.
This well is dry.

MIDDLE

So he’ll say.
Look at you!
You’re all calico and mess.
You got no make-up on
And you’re of no fixed address.

We had some fun.
But this road is long.
So maybe it’s best if you just move along.

CHORUS

This well is dry.
Is all that he is thinking.
This well is dry.
He tells her without blinking.
Tomorrow is just a bye the bye.
But today I got to fly.
This well is dry.
