6 Mile Water Songwriters:Hopkins, Graham; Mckeegan, Michael Robert; Mccarrick, Martin; Cairns, Andrew
You and me used to be like brothers On the nights we got drunk to eack other You know me, I used to have some wit It ended up in a shit -flled sandpit We come from across the border We drink the six mile water This mongrel needs a new home This mongrel needs a new home
That time when things got better We'd take trips across the wire Like the night we took mad acid Swore we saw the city hall on fire We come from across the border We drink the six mile water This mongrel needs a new home This mongrel needs a new home
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry But i'm not ready for home
Bukowski day, i'm gonna miss it We'd get together each month for a day All the memories I have are Decked out in presbyterian Gray We came from across the border
We drank the six mile water This mongrel needs a new home This mongrel needs a new home
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry But i'm not ready for home
Now, me and you don't talk of one another It never really started out that way I always meant to write you a letter I always meant to call you some day We came from across the water We drank the six mile water This mongrel needs a new home This mongrel needs a new home
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry But i'm not ready for home
