Another day everything's all cool
Got it made in the shade and I can't complain
But life sure can be cruel
Turn your blue sky black at the drop of a hat
So help me, God, I can't help but ask

When's the dam gonna break
When's the creek gonna rise
When's the good Lord willing to put me in the fire
It's a hell of a place to be
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Wondering if tomorrow's gonna bring bad news

I drag that ball and chain
Like a jailbird running from a dark day coming
I pray I pray I pray
But fear still finds away I'm afraid to say

When's the dam gonna break
When's the creek gonna rise
When's the good Lord willing to put me in the fire
It's a hell of a place to be
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Wondering if tomorrow's gonna bring bad news, yeah

When's the dam gonna break
When's the creek gonna rise
When's a turn for the worse gonna come like a thief in the night
It's a hell of a place to be
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Wondering if tomorrow's gonna bring bad news
Bad news...
