I never been to Cincinnati
Well maybe I'll take some time to make that ride on the road to the west coast
Nor have I been to Salt Lake City
But I'm on my way to San Jose and don't know when I'm coming home
I've been looking for the wellâ¨And I'm looking for the water
But in this city nowâ¨It's all dust and mortar
I've been praying for the rainfall
Hoping for a small cloudâ¨But this far from you, girl
I should expect a drought
I've never been this long without youâ¨Over twenty-five hundred miles and forty hours with the fuel gauge in the red
You know I'm dying to be somebody
I wish you were here with me in the shotgun seat as we play these old cassettes
I've been looking for the river
As I'm headed to the oceanâ¨But in this city nowâ¨The dry land is brokenâ¨I've been searching for the answersâ¨As I'm running from my doubtsâ¨But with the glass half empty
I should expect a drought
Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer â¨And you are my waterâ¨Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer â¨And you are my water
I never been to Manhattan
Well only one wintertime, on the low eastside, but I had no time to stopâ¨We're gonna go to New York Cityâ¨I can't wait 'til I get home, you pack your clothes, and we'll walk the promenade
I've been looking for the well
And I'm looking for the water
But in this city nowâ¨It's all dust and mortarâ¨I've been praying for the rainfallâ¨Hoping for a small cloudâ¨I'm coming back to you, girl
And we'll end this drought
Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer
And you are my water
Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer â¨And you are my water
It's gonna be a long, long, long
A long dry summer
â¨Mmmmm, you are my water
