Don Henley

Songwriter: Bob Dylan Danny O’Keefe

Well, the man who stole the water will swim forevermore
Well he never reached the land on that golden shore
And that faint white light will haunt his heart
Till it's only a memory lost in the dark

So dig your hole in the ground
All the way down to hell
But there ain't no more water in the well, well, well
When you're down on your knees
With nothing left to sell
Dig a little deeper in the well, well, well
Well, well, well
Well, well, well

The water used to run so clear and so fresh
Now what you'd do with this fresh
The man sells us back our water like we're fish on line
Gonna turn our blood into his wine

Dig a hole in the ground
All the way down to hell
Till there ain't no more water in the
Well, well, well
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell
Try digging a little deeper in the well, well, well
Well, well, well

Take care of your body like you care for your soul
Don't you dig yourself into a hole
Until you've paid the price you don't know the worth
The air and water, the fire and earth

Dig a hole in the ground
All the way down to hell
Till there ain't no more water in the
Well, well, well
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell
Try digging a little deeper in the well well well

Break it down

Well, the man who stole the water will swim forevermore
Well he never reached the land on that golden shore
And that faint white light will haunt his heart
Till it's only a memory lost in the dark

So dig a hole in the ground
All the way down to hell
Till there ain't no more water in the
Well, well, well
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell
Try digging a little deeper in the well, well, well
Well, well, well
Well, well, well

Digging a little deeper
Digging a little deeper
Well, well, well

Digging a little deeper
Digging a little deeper
Well, well, well
