What's In The Well

Well it's '86 in Albany
Friday night about 6:15
Mom and Dad's anniversary and Myrese is at the door
55 And 5 foot nothin'
Sweet as pie but bible thumpin
Every time we were starting something' she'd come and cut it off

She'd say what's in the well comes up in the bucket
You can waste time but it don't stop runnin'
Seasons change but it won't change nothin'
What's in the well comes up in the bucket

Well it's '96 in old NC
Friends are passing 'round a magazine
Stuff my Dad wouldn't let me see so I up and took off
Weird at school for a couple days
Everybody asked why I ran away
I couldn't think of somethin' cool to say to I reached for the same old song

I said what's in the well comes up in the bucket
You can waste time but it don't stop runnin'
Seasons change but it won't change nothin'
What's in the well comes up in the bucket

We haven't talked since I was 7
But I talked about her my whole life
I guess a good enough lesson keeps itself alive

What's in the well comes up in the bucket
You can waste time but it don't stop runnin'
Seasons change but it won't change nothin'
What's in the well
What's in the well comes up in the bucket
You can waste time but it don't stop runnin'
Seasons change but it won't change nothin'
What's in the well comes up in the bucket
Comes up in the bucket yeah
