I appreciate
the sweet kind of words
Girl you're
lookin' good tonight
Had you come around
not so long ago
I'm sure we'd have
had us a time
But I got someone givin'me
More love than I'll ever need
Girl you got to understand
lt'd be like givin' water
to a drownin' man
Buildin' a fire
on the desert sand
Tellin' old Noah
all about the flood
Catfish hearin' 'bout
the Mississippi mud
You wanna give me lovin'
And I'm sure that you can
But it's like givin'water
to a drownin' man
Lots of pretty women
in this town
But I don't give a second look
It's just a waste of time
Starin'at the cover when
you've already read the book
'Cause ever since
the day we met
I've been in over my head
No one loves me like she can
lt'd be like givin' water
to a drownin' man
Tellin' Merle Haggard
'bout a one night stand
Cussin' at the devil
Preachin' at the choir
Throwin' a lighted match
on a ragin' fire
My baby gives me more love
than one man can stand
It's like givin' water
to a drownin' man
I got someone givin' me
more love than I'll ever need
Girl you got to understand
lt'd be like givin' water
to a drownin' man
Buildin' a fire
on the desert sand
Tellin' old Noah
all about the flood
Catfish hearin' 'bout
the Mississippi mud
You wanna give me lovin'
And I'm sure that you can
But it's like givin'water
to a drownin' man
Tellin' Merle Haggard
'bout a one night stand
Cussin' at the devil
Preachin' at the choir
Throwin' a lighted match
on a ragin' fire
I got more love than any
one man can stand
lt'd be like givin' water
to a drownin' man
