water my flowers

Old Dominion

Soul as empty as a whiskey glass
Bed as cold as it can be
I ve been waking up alone too long
Lonely ain t got nothin on me
Heart as hollow as an old dead hickory
The ramblin man in me is dyin
Still ain t found the one to settle me down
But it ain t from a lack of trying
No, it ain t from a lack of trying

Cause every night, I close my eyes
And pray for something I can hold on to
Where she at, and what do I gotta do?
Tell me, who s gonna water my flowers?
Who s gonna cry my name
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground
And I meet my higher power?
Who s gonna water my flowers?

Sand is slippin through the hourglass
Ther? s a number on my nights and days
I need a brown-eyed baby
Com? around and save me
Cause I can t go on this way
No, I ain t going out this way

Every night, I close my eyes
And pray for something I can hold on to
Where she at? What do I gotta do?
Tell me, who s gonna water my flowers?
Who s gonna cry my name
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground
And I meet my higher power?
Who s gonna water my flowers?

Is it too much to ask
For something that will last?
Yeah, long after I m gone
And I ve sang the last of my songs
Who s gonna water my flowers?

Every night I close my eyes
And pray for something I can hold on to
Where she at, what do I gotta do
Tell me, who s gonna water my flowers
Who s gonna cry my name
When they lay me down in the cold hard ground
And I m in my final hour
Who s gonna water my flowers
