Unlucky in love? Keep tryin'...
Till the Well Runs Dry
I dreamed of Isabella till I turned eighteen
But found the price was too high
While all those stray cats at the Blue Canteen
She met them on the sly
You toss your dice into the sky
I know there ain't no use in wondering why
So I'm gonna try, try, try
Till the well runs dry
And I'm gonna cry, cry, cry
When the well runs dry
Now Saint Felicia seemed so pure and good
But she was wild as a river in the sky
There were so many words I thought I understood
Until she said goodbye
You toss your dice into the sky
I know there ain't no use in wondering why
But I'm gonna try, try, try
Till the well runs dry
And I'm gonna cry, cry, cry
When the well runs dry
Amanda found another man to waste her time
Ruby found another room to rearrange
But when Candy cleared the bank of every single dime
I swore this bad old luck would never change
(Instrumental)
When Suzy found me fit to slit my throat
She just smiled, threw a rope around my thigh
She pulled me home just like a drifting boat
And looked me in the eye
She said we're never gonna die
So stay with me baby, no need to be shy
Were gonna try, try, try
Till the well runs dry
And we're gonna cry, cry, cry
When the well runs dry
