Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Sun beatin' down on Saint Denis streets, dust devils dancin' in the heat
Whiskey burnin' in my gut, another round, another rut
Lost my job down by the docks, foreman said I talked too much
'Bout whispers of a hidden spell, a magic well down by the well
(Chorus)
They say there's somethin' in the Ounderground, a secret passage, lost and found
Whispers of a hidden spring, water that can make a new man sing
Maybe it'll wash away the ache, the thirst for more than just a break
Just a drifter with a dream, down on my luck, it would seem
(Verse 2)
Heard the tale from an old geezer, spinnin' yarns by the fire's gleam
Said the water held a magic touch, could heal a heart, mend so much
But there's a price to pay, they say, a darkness lurkin' on the way
Gotta face your demons down below, before the magic starts to flow
(Chorus)
They say there's somethin' in the Ounderground, a secret passage, lost and found
Whispers of a hidden spring, water that can make a new man sing
Maybe it'll wash away the ache, the thirst for more than just a break
Just a drifter with a dream, down on my luck, it would seem
(Bridge)
Maybe it's all a whiskey dream, a fool's hope in a dusty stream
But a man with nothin' left to lose, might chase a gamble 'neath the noose
(Chorus)
They say there's somethin' in the Ounderground, a secret passage, lost and found
Whispers of a hidden spring, water that can make a new man sing
Maybe it'll wash away the ache, the thirst for more than just a break
Just a drifter with a dream, down on my luck, it would seem
(Outro)
Yeah, just a drifter with a dream, headin' down to that mystic stream
Saint Denis fade behind, gonna find what I can find
In the Ounderground, in the Ounderground
