Something in the Water Songtext
von Charlie Robison

I was a boy, I was a good little boy
A very good boy when I was ten
Well, I was quiet as a mouse at my grandma′s house
It was just me and a friend

He said, "Take a big drink up above the sink"
There was a bottle on the very top shelf
I took a big chug-a-lug then I hit the rug
And he left me there by myself

Whoa-oh-oh, my mind's moving kinda slow
There must be, there must be something in the water
Whoa-oh-oh, this thing follows me wherever I go
There must be, there must be something in the water

I was a boy, I was a very good boy
A very good boy at 17
I saw a sight under the main streetlight
She was the cutest thing I ever seen


Every time I tried to throw her a line
Well, my knees they just got weak
And I was passed a cup and I drank it up
And I was faced down on the street

Whoa-oh-oh, these thing follows me wherever I go
It must be, it must be something in the water
Whoa-oh-oh, my mind′s moving kinda slow
There must be, there must be something in the water
There must be

Well, I'm older now and I don't know how
But ten years they gone and came
But my wife, she left, and what′s left of my life′s
Just a spinnin' down the drain
But I still got my buddies and I still got my pals
And I still got my buddies and I still got my pals

Whoa-oh-oh, my mind′s moving kinda slow
There must be, there must be something in the water
Whoa-oh-oh, this thing follows me wherever I go
It must be, it must be something in the water

I said there must be, there must be something in the water
And it sure tastes good
'Cause I used to be able to sing this song
And it used to sound good to me
