Red water Lyrics

Red water Lyrics

When I was 12, while checkin' the mail
I was admiring the car of the man next door
And thinkin' to myself, Man! One of these days
I'm gonna have me a house like that with a big red door
And his yard was mowed and his grass was green
And the driveway was edged and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
I had a crush on his wife and I played ball with his son
I pondered how much money he made, went inside and turned the TV on

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said, "he had a smile on his face", his final offer
The steam on the mirror said, "One more thing to say"

I was watchin' TV, havin' one of mom's famous Rice Crispy treats
watching Tom & Jerry, I heard a car horn beep
I ran to the window, his wife and son were home
with bags of stuff they had got at the mall
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
I lept off the steps and asked his son could he play
And his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son
"I guess it'll be okay"
And that beautiful woman, she walked in that beautiful house
When I realized I forgot my hat, I said,
"I'll be back" and turned around

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said, "he had a smile on his face", his final offer
The steam on the mirror said, "One more thing to say"

There was screaming, there was crying
There was sirens, I thought I was dreamin'
And the sun was shinin', it was a beautiful day
His wife was talking to an officer, through the noise I heard her say

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said, "he had a smile on his face", his final offer
The steam on the mirror said, "I got one more thing to say"

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said, "he had a smile on his face", his final offer
The steam on the mirror said

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said, "he had a smile on his face", his final offer
The steam on the mirror said, "I got one more thing to say"
