The Well

I was just a young'n bouncin' on my mama's knee Said, "Son, there's only one thing that sets your soul free" Wasn't no easy street where I come from There wasn't no sleep until the work was done Papa was a preachin' 'bout the fires of hell If you want a drink of water, got to go to the well The cornerstone church tried to curse my soul But the good Lord gave me that rock and roll Let the spirit pull me under, to the bottom of the well If you wanna live forever, but you never can tell So one for the money, two another show Three for the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
