Water My Flowers

Soul as empty as a whiskey glass

Bed as cold as it can be

I've been waking up alone too long

Lonely ain't got nothin' on me

Heart as hollow as an old dead hickory

The ramblin' man in me is dyin'

Still ain't found the one to settle me down

But it ain't from a lack of trying

No, it ain't from a lack of trying

'Cause every night, I close my eyes

And pray for something I can hold on to

Where she at, and what I gotta do?

Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers?

Who's gonna cry my name

When they lay me down in the cold hard ground

And I meet my higher power?

Who's gonna water my flowers?

Sand is slippin' through the hourglass

Therе's a number on my nights and days

I need a brown-eyed baby

Comе around and save me

'Cause I can't go on this way

No, I ain't going out this way

Every night, I close my eyes

And pray for something I can hold on to

Where she at? What do I gotta do?

Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers?

Who's gonna cry my name

When they lay me down in the cold hard ground

And I meet my higher power?

Who's gonna water my flowers?

Is it too much to ask

For something that will last?

Yeah, long after I'm gone

And I've sang the last of my songs

Who's gonna water my flowers?

Every night I close my eyes

And pray for something I can hold on to

Where she at, what do I gotta do

Tell me, who's gonna water my flowers

Who's gonna cry my name

When they lay me down in the cold hard ground

And I'm in my final hour

Who's gonna water my flowers
