Steps bowed up and the hurricane chimes
To the wind kickin' up and the sun beatin' down
Ain't no rain in sight bone dry in the valley
And nobody smiles but the rich in the alley
Chorus
Doncha miss that water when it's gone
Doncha miss that water when it's gone
Rich in the alley free in the gutter
Take a drink to the past and pray for another
Holdin' on in the corner words slappin' the flies
To the cries of the crows in a lonesome sky
Chorus
Doncha think about me when the sun goes down
Stars raisin' up all over this town
I'm lost in the heat burnin' round and round
Doncha miss that water when it's gone
Chorus
Chorus
