well the guadalupe river has shrunk down to just a sliver and the ground has been praying for rain as i stood there on the bridge thinking i feel just like this tired and thirsty for one damn thing to change oh come holy ghost break the levy build a boat call me noah carry me away oh what a dream i had last night i couldn t scream i could not fight and the more that i pushed and the more that i pried it got harder and harder like running underwater well i can t hear the angels singing and the telephone quit ringing it s a dustbowl of a soul that i wear i m just picking up the pieces crying out to jesus i could sure use you now if you re there  oh what a dream i had last night i couldn t scream i could not fight and the more that i pushed and the more that i pried it got harder and harder like running underwater well i was sinking down without a prayer and begging just to get some air and telling myself it s just a nightmare oh what a dream i had last night i couldn t scream i could not fight and the more that i pushed and the more that i pried it got harder and harder oh what a dream i had last night i couldn t scream i could not fight and the more that i pushed and the more that i pried it got harder and harder like running underwater i m running underwater i m running running running
