Brother Water
Brother Water, Devil's got a hold of me he sent
Sister Moonshine to get down to seduce - a - me and
In my darkness, the Devil won't let me be
Brother Water wash away my sin and set me free
Dad loved the bottle like his Daddy before
Sent Mama to an early grave
And I swore when I'd grow up I'd take pride in livin' clean
But the Devil's fingers caught me that one time I strayed
Brother Water, Devil's got a hold of me he sent
Sister Moonshine to get down to seduce - a - me and
In my darkness, the Devil won't let me be
Brother Water wash away my sin and set me free
Now Sister Moonshine, she's as cute as can be
She's the perfect shape to dress in glass
As she looks into my eyes I can't see nothin' else
My intentions melt like ice and then they vaporize
Brother Water, Devil's got a hold of me he sent
Sister Moonshine to get down to seduce - a - me and
In my darkness, the Devil won't let me be
Brother Water wash away my sin and set me free
The Devil's Palace is made outta liquid gold and
The screw top is his crown of sin he curls
An evil finger at me while I'm starin' at his name
On the label as I reach for Johnny, Jack or Jim
Brother Water, Devil's got a hold of me he sent
Sister Moonshine to get down to seduce - a - me and
In my darkness, the Devil won't let me be
Brother Water wash away my sin and set me free
My guardian angel can fly faster than I drive can
Dive deeper than the deep blue sea
But I feel his grip's a-loosenin' with all the trouble that I'm in
I need you Brother Water, come and wash me clean
Brother Water, Devil's got a hold of me he sent
Sister Moonshine to get down to seduce - a - me and
In my darkness, the Devil won't let me be
Brother Water wash away my sin and set me free
So Brother Water I'll take it day at a time
You gotta know I still believe
Lemme drink you as I pray you keep the Devil outta my way oh
Brother Water wash my spirit clean and set me free
Brother Water, Devil's got a hold of me he sent
Sister Moonshine to get down to seduce - a - me and
In my darkness, the Devil won't let me be
Brother Water wash away my sin and set me free
