Down by the Water Songtext
von Jay Webb

Down by the water, she told me
"This is where I go when I get lonely
The crickets and the lightnin′ bugs
My only friends" (Yeah, that's right)
Came home early, saw his tail lights, they were leavin′ in a hurry
The house was a wreck, and on my nightstand, a pack of Marlboro Lights
Now I don't smoke and neither do you
And you usually clean up around one or two
And it was 4:30, so I knew something wasn't right

Down by the water, she told me
"It was bound to happen ′cause you ignored me
A woman like me gotta keep herself satisfied" (Satisfied)
Down by the water, she broke me
Took everything I had and endеd our story
And I don′t think I'm evеr gon′ forget that night (That night)


Down by the water, she told me
"This is where I go when I get lonely
The crickets and the lightnin' bugs, my only friends"

When I think of you and me
I think of looking up at that movie screen
On our very first date
Got my cold beer and you got your white wine
I guess it wasn′t meant to be
Now I gotta move on and try to believe
That there's someone else out there
To make me feel what I feel when I look in your eyes

Down by the water, she told me
"It was bound to happen ′cause you ignored me
A woman like me gotta keep herself satisfied" (Satisfied)
Down by the water, she broke me
Took everything I had and ended our story
And I don't think I'm ever gon′ forget that night (That night)
