"Bad Water" lyrics - JACKIE DESHANNON

JACKIE DESHANNON
"Bad Water"

I got troubles, you got troubles
All God's children got troubles
Livin' in bad water
(Bad water)
(Tryin' to roll all over me)
(Bad water, bad water, ooh)
(Tell me why won't you set me free)

You know I'm tryin' to make it
But it's so hard to take it
I don't mind tellin' you
Well, I don't mind tellin' you
Taxes are overrated, my money's disintegrated
And, right now, I'm just goin' through

Nothin' but bad water, bad water
Tryin' to roll all over me, ooh
(Bad water, bad water ooh)
Tell me why won't you set me free

I need some consolation
To ease my situation
You know, the confusion just won't stop
I find myself alone
With the shoes that I have on
I'm all wet, from bottom to top

I'm walkin' through, bad water
(Bad water)
Tryin' to roll all over me, help me
(Bad water, bad water ooh)
Tell me why won't you set me free

We started this decision
To find a quick prevention
Why don't ya'll lend a helping hand
Instead of shoutin' and screamin'
Let's plan instead of dreamin'
So the world will understand

Oh, stop with this bad water
(Bad water)
Tryin' to roll all over me, I'll fix it
(Bad water, bad water, ooh)
Tell me why won't you set me free

Oh, let's stop and fish
(Bad water, bad water)
(Tryin' to roll all over me)
