Lyrics
[verse]
You’ll never miss the water
til the well runs dry
You won't miss me
til I say goodbye.
Go ahead and try, but the time ain’t long.
I got my truck fixed up,
And I’m counting the days before
I’m gone
[bridge]
I got you a dog to guard you while you sleep.
He’ll give you protection,
so you don’t need me.
He don’t need appreciation
to keep his dedication,
So I’m headed to the river,
cuz it's deep
[chorus]
Every time,
You make me feel I’m nothing’,
something’ thrown away
I got my guitar,
I can play it all day.
You never appreciate the little things I do,
Not one thing I do,
That's why I’m leaving you.
Yeah
[verse]
Some guys got jobs,
other guys got dreams.
All your little schemes, whatever you call it
And it’s so important, the value of your things
But you're just as empty
as your wallet
[bridge]
If I stay you'll yell forever,
I think it's time to part
I don’t wanna be together if you ain’t got no heart.
I need to find a new place, I can get some peace
So I’m headed to the river,
cuz it’s deep.
You won't miss me
til I say goodbye.
Go ahead and try,
but the time ain’t long.
I got my truck fixed up,
And I’m counting the days
before
I’m gone

I can play it all day.

things I do,
Not one thing
I do,
That's why I’m leaving you.

They're gonna tell you that I've come and gone.
They're gonna tell you that I've come and gone.
They're gonna tell you that I've come and gone,
and you ain't got no one.
Cuz baby
we're done!

You’ll never miss the water
til the well
runs dry
Goodbye
runs dry
You won't miss me
good bye
