Well, it happened about a year ago
A little church where I live
Had me a drink of that living water
Only God can give
I came home, my family just stared at me
And I knew what they was thinking
My daddy just put his hands on his hips
And said, "Boy, from what have you been drinking'"
"Was it a bottle'" I said, "No"
"Was it a vat'" I said, "No"
He said, "Where have you been drinking at'"

I've been drinking from the well
The well, the well that the world knows not of
It's that life giving, living water that flows from God above
Well, you can't find on Wall Street, this sweet release
It's worth more than all the oil in the Middle East
Well, there's nothing alcoholic that makes me feel no pain
It's the Holy Ghost and fire flowing through my veins
It's the well, the well
The well that never shall run dry

New Year's Eve, I came skipping home
I waltzed in through the door
My brother Joe-Joe could hardly talk
Laying drunk on the floor
He said, "Hey, where've you been at you look so good'"
I said, "I was in church since 8:02"
He said, "Uh, don't give me that".
"Even I can tell, there's something potent inside of you".
"Expensive liquor'" I said, "No".
"That homemade junk" I said, "No"
He said, "How'd you get so drunk'"

When the economy drops and falls, I'll still be drinking
When the taxman comes to talk, I'll still be drinking
My friends don't want me around, I'll still be drinking
When I'm laughed at all over town, I'll still be drinking
Satan may even attack, but I'll still be drinking
Even when I'm lying down on my back, I'll still be drinking
The devil may hate and loathe me, but I'll still be drinking
'Cause my God will always be the glory
'Cause I've been drinking from the well, the well
The well that never shall run dry
