Lyrics

All the Tears I’ve Cried

Janie and Marie, Cindy and Rose
Four gunslingers unlike any I’ve known
I could lift my horse
Lift the trough
But I couldn’t slow what they couldn’t stop

They brought me into the corral each night
They branded their initials and I obliged
The words were thin and tissue light
I didn’t care because it felt so right

(chorus)
I’ve been to the well but the well was dry
I could fill that well with all the tears I’ve cried
I’ve been to the creek but the bed was dry
I could start a creek with all the tears I’ve cried
And I could make an ocean with all the tears I’ve cried

I felt like a drifter on the roam
Always unfamiliar looking for a home
It brought me up then it shot me down
From a gold medal winner to a paper crown

The fruit was sweet the fruit was ripe
Candied apples can’t sustain life
I’d shed my skin throat to the knife
And I’d do what it’d take for one more ride

(chorus)
I’ve been to the well but the well was dry
I could fill that well with all the tears I’ve cried
I’ve been to the creek but the bed was dry
I could start a creek with all the tears I’ve cried
And I could make an ocean with all the tears I’ve cried

(bridge)
I’d prick the skin or take a bruise to the eye
I’ve never known how to say goodbye
I’ve made my choices to spend my time
High, high, high so high
High High so high

(verse)
I told myself not to run
Even when I was faced with a lawman’s gun
I wore the vest the number nine
I was made for decisions that others would decide

A fool will run straight off the rails
Until he finds a feeling
Not like hell
And I’ve made my condition my mission not to fail

(chorus)
I’ve been to the well but the well was dry
I could fill that well with all the tears I’ve cried
I’ve been to the creek but the bed was dry
I could start a creek with all the tears I’ve cried
And I could make an ocean with all the tears I’ve cried
