Something in the Water

If you listen
The wind's still whistling past the creek
Where we found gold dust on our knees
And filled our boots with rusted clay
And I go there
When the night is dark and lonesome
When my heart cries out for home
But I am lost and far away

There must be something in the water
Something in my blood
I can't leave these hills behind me
Though I've run fast as I could
I could swim across the ocean
But the tides would bring me home
Must be something in the water
Something in my blood

I can feel you
In my bones before the sunrise
There's a moment when the tall pines
Creak and bend and come up right
I can hear you
In my voice after a few drinks
Like a song I lost but still sing
When the radio's up high

There must be something in the water
Something in my blood
I can't leave these hills behind me
Though I've run fast as I could
I could swim across the ocean
But the tides would bring me home
Must be something in the water
Something in my blood

I was a young man
When I heard the highway calling
And I ran like water falling
Over stones to meet the sea

There must be something in the water
Something in my blood
I can't leave these hills behind me
Though I've run fast as I could
I could swim across the ocean
But the tides would bring me home
Must be something in the water
Something in my blood
There must be something in the water
Something in my blood
