Black Water Lyrics by Thunder

Wonder Days

2015

Yeah!

It was down by the water
Where the angry rivers rise
I was found by the preacher's daughter
Who's love I can't deny

I was still so young
When I touched that gun for the first time, it felt so right
So I packed my bag
And I said goodbye 'cause I knew that I'd crossed the line

So as I turn out the light
You'd better not close your eyes

I might rip your heart out, honey
I might steal your money too
Black water running through my soul
I'll be the ruin of you

I smiled like an angel
I was a streetwise seventeen
She was old enough to know better
When she took her chance on me

One respectable wife
With a taste for the darker side

I might rip your heart out, honey
I might steal your money too
Black water running through my soul
I'll be the ruin of you

I'll be the ruin of you
Yeah!

[Instrumental]

No you'd better not close your eyes
Yeah!

I might rip your heart out, honey
I might steal your money too
Black water running through my soul
I might rip your heart out, honey
I might steal your money too
Black water running through my soul
I'll be the ruin of you

I'll be the ruin of you
