Josh Reams (with Matt Morelli)
A
He comes through the door about half past five,
A
The same way he does every night.
A
No, he�s got a wife and kid a waitin� at home,
A
Yet still I�ve never seen a man so alone.
E
His rage burns him like the fires of hell.
(Chorus)
D
And now he�s� drinkin� water from the devil�s well,
A
Lord it�s got him under its dark spell.
D
He comes in here, night after night,
A
Hiding from the demons in this thing called life.
E
He�s got a tale only the bottle could tell.
^ D E A
He�s drinkin� water from the�.devil�s well.
On down the line something must have went wrong,
His empty eyes reveal man that�s gone.
He must have went down a real dark track,
And since that day he never really came back.
Well if you ask him man he�ll never tell.
(Repeat Chorus)
Why he�s�.
(Instrumental � Guitar Solo)
He pays his tab about half past nine,
Smiles and says that this�ll the last time.
The next morning in the paper I read,
�house went up in smoke and three found dead.�
My knees got weak and man I almost fell.
(Chorus)
He was�drinkin� water from the devil�s well,
Lord it had him under its dark spell.
He left here, that fateful night,
Went killed himself and his kid and wife.
It�s a tale only the bottle could tell.
He was� drinkin� water from the�.devil�s well.
