Drink Of Water

He was her demon Nothin' but trouble She loved the chaos Their excitin' nights Drunken adventures An' a wild bedroom Always carryin' a roll flanked by muscle Small time criminal Wrong kind of respect She loved attention From dangerous men bendin' a knee But she's gettin' older Sin's not washin' off Her girls learnin' to be like him She watches the water calm from ripples Circles fadin' away Like the trouble he made every day Fun when she was young An' eventually you can't take anymore when cops keep comin' She watches the water calm from ripples Circles fadin' away On'a first name basis With each badge stoppin' by Wanted for questions Unproven accusations She fixed his drink Then dragged him away To his favorite fishin' spot She watches the water calm from ripples Circles fadin' away Like the trouble he made every day Fun when she was young But eventually you can't take anymore Her home now hers alone She watches the water calm from ripples Circles fadin' away Never threw a hand Treated like a queen But kids are growin' Daughters are swearin' Oldest threw a punch 4 and 9's too young It ends with circles fadin' away Fadin' away
