Well you're right that no one informed you
I guess I should have warned you, it's all a contest
And you said they all wanted to hide you
But when they got deep inside you, it's a big mess
And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between
So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
Well the shouts of a thousand disciples and the brass Winchester rifles brought the house down
And I know that I don't concern you, but life's got a way it can burn you, you lose the high ground
And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between
So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
You're a match that I have burned, you're a page that I have turned, and you know the rest
You know I'd never steal your water, it was your whining boss-man's daughter, your half-brother confessed
And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between
So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
Yeah, save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
I guess I should have warned you, it's all a contest
And you said they all wanted to hide you
But when they got deep inside you, it's a big mess
And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between
So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
Well the shouts of a thousand disciples and the brass Winchester rifles brought the house down
And I know that I don't concern you, but life's got a way it can burn you, you lose the high ground
And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between
So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
You're a match that I have burned, you're a page that I have turned, and you know the rest
You know I'd never steal your water, it was your whining boss-man's daughter, your half-brother confessed
And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain ol' sandwiched in-between
So save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
Yeah, save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
