Some say Paradise it ain't that far
Across the midwest, through the great plains
Second home or a broke down car
Same stories, different faces
But this money isn't all that it seems
It will buy us nothing, but a big house
Or a fence to lock away our dreams
Here's to hoping, they were nothing
They were nothing
Through the valley there's a winding stream
Little river, in the springtime
But the grasses don't keep their green
When the rains, not fallin'
It's in the water, it's in the water
It's in the water where the dirt breaks free and
It's in the water, it's in the water
Poison soil and a fruitless tree
Wildfire and a law degree
All the pictures that they paint for me
Of the world and how it's supposed to be
It's in the water, it's in the water
It's in the water we can see these things and
It's in the water, it's in the water
Low lake, dry stream
Arid land, built on dreams
No place to hide
All these lives, burnt like trees
It's in the water, it's in the water
It's in the water where the dirt breaks free and
It's in the water, it's in the water
It's in the water we can see these things and
It's in the water, it's in the water
It's in the water to reach the sea and
It's in the water, it's in the water
