Lyrics
I bought my girl a diamond, it was our engagement ring
She took it to a pawn shop, like it didn’t mean a thing
She went right out and bought herself abrand new party dress
She’ll be looking good tonight when we go out, I guess
She’s a cool drink of water
She’s done hocked the ring I bought her
She might be the devil’s daughter
But she’s a cool, cool drink of water
I took her to a nightclub, where we used to go a lot
The beer is cold and frosty and the band is blazing hot
I went back for a refill and this guy walked up and said
There’s a blonde out on the dance floor turning everybody’s head
She’s a cool drink of water
And I should run, yes, I probably oughta
She might be the devil’s daughter
But she’s a cool, cool drink of water
Well I’d had one too many, so she took my keys to drive
She said, “We’ll have more fun tonight if we get home alive”
Well that copper clocked her doing 90 in a 20 zone
But she didn’t get a ticket, just the number to his phone
She’s a cool drink of water
And that ol’ cop, he really thinks he caught her
He just met the devil’s daughter
And she’s a cool, cool drink of water
Yeah, she’s a cool drink of water
And I should run, yes, I probably oughta
She might be the devil’s daughter
But she’s a cool, cool drink of water
