Song Lyrics

Well you're right that no one informed ya'e
I guess I should have warned ya', it's all a contest
And you said they all wanted to hide ya'
But when they got deep inside ya', it's a big mess

And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain old sandwiched in between
So save your water woman, I won't drink out of your stream

Well the shouts of a thousand disciples
And the brass Winchester rifles
Brought the house down
And I know that I don't concern you
But life's got a way it can burn you
Ya' lose the high ground

And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain old sandwiched in between
So save your water woman, I won't drink out of your stream

You're a match that I have burned
You're a page that I have turned
And you know the rest

And I'd never steal your water
It was your whining boss-man's daughter
Your half-brother confessed

And you know me better now and you see I'm in the middle
And you don't know why or how but you sold me down your river
And I'm just plain old sandwiched in between
So save your water woman, I won't drink out of your stream

Yeah, save your water woman I won't drink out of your stream
