charles wesley godwin - gas well lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve never been too good to pick up a penny and lately i’ve been short of too d+mn many
wife up and left, and baby in my ride, dog’s at my feet beggin’ for a bite
empty pockets make sinners out of bona fide saints, swore to my daddy never tarnish his name

[verse 2]
droughts have been long and the floods have been fierce
ain’t made a profit on the farm in near a dozen years
there’s money all around eight thousand feet down
be a few more months ‘fore the drill can break ground

[verse 3]
so far behind every loan is dеnied and the bank has a mind to kick us out of herе
i’d see this whole world ground down to sand if i ever see the day that a suit takes my land

[chorus]
i’ve got a pistol and some tnt
there’s an armoured truck on tuesday carries what i need
i’m not proud of this cliff i’m jumpin’
but i’ve gotta make it through ’til the gas starts pumpin’

[verse 4]
i’ll take it on the road where no one will see
i know the mountains better than a warrior cherokee
i grew up with tommy and he did right by me
i’ll take the cash he’s guardin’ and buy whatever i need
[chorus]
i’ve got a pistol and some tnt
there’s an armoured truck on tuesday carries what i need
i’m not proud of this cliff i’m jumpin’
but i’ve gotta make it through ’til the gas starts pumpin’

[bridge]
i hope daddy’s not lookin’ down as i wait here for that truck
and if he is i pray to god he sends a little luck

[verse 5]
i’ve never been too good to pick up a penny and lately i’ve been swimmin’ in so d+mn many
every cheque i receive comes at a high price
sometimes i visit tommy’s grave at night
and the well’ll yield high for many years
and d+mn my reckonin’ surely nears
