lyrics

AGUA ES LA VIDA (Water is Life) w&m: bill mallonee admin BMI 2018
Out here they have a saying: "el agua es-la vida"
Water is always Life until the heat drives it away
And drive it away it surely will, if the heavens do not send
It's not a matter of "if," just a matter of when.

You were a showgirl in Durango, so I asked where you where staying
something 'bout your dancing, struck me more like praying
she said "You know you're entertaining royalty & romance"
She said, "I'll save you from a life of crime, if you give me half a chance"

Maybe there's a land where truth & grace collide
you stumble forth in shabby clothes and your ill-fitting lies
Maybe it all gets stripped away, just like a bad dream
To reveal the one you are and the one you'll one day be

Now the jury may still be out; But the evidence seems strong
Some were born to get it right; some were born to get it wrong
thirst is all i ever brought to your eyes, your kiss, your whisper,
there is a saying out here..."el agua es-la vida"
