Dig a Little Deeper in the Well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
My daddy used to tell me, "Don't be fooled by the things you see (oh, no)
If you want to get to the heart of things you gotta look way down deep
Second place don't get it, son, a winner got to come in first
Ain't nothing worse than taking a drink
That leaves you with a thirst"
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
A good man needs a good woman
She's the rock that'll make you strong
She'll be there to lean on when the whole world's done him wrong
There ain't nothing like good loving, that's the way it's meant to be
Son, find you a woman that'll be good to you
Like your momma's been to me
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
There's a mighty flowing river with the water so cool and sweet
Don't be fooled by a muddy stream, be careful where you drink
Life is what you make it, sometimes it's a living hell
And if you want to find that promised land
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
My daddy used to tell me, "Don't be fooled by the things you see (oh, no)
If you want to get to the heart of things you gotta look way down deep
Second place don't get it, son, a winner got to come in first
Ain't nothing worse than taking a drink
That leaves you with a thirst"
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
A good man needs a good woman
She's the rock that'll make you strong
She'll be there to lean on when the whole world's done him wrong
There ain't nothing like good loving, that's the way it's meant to be
Son, find you a woman that'll be good to you
Like your momma's been to me
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
There's a mighty flowing river with the water so cool and sweet
Don't be fooled by a muddy stream, be careful where you drink
Life is what you make it, sometimes it's a living hell
And if you want to find that promised land
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well, boy
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
