Still Water Runs The Deepest

Merle Haggard · Poncho and Lefty (wWillie Nelson) [1983]

(Jesse Ashlock)



Still water runs the depest

Like a love complete and through

So peaceful and dependable

I can't say the same about you.



Your love is cold and selfish

And it never could be true

One time I loved you truly

I can't say the same about you.



I'm leaving and I won't be back

I'm goin' to where I belong

Too long we've been together

And too long you've done me wrong.



Still water runs the depest

Like a love complete and through

So peaceful and dependable

I can't say the same about you.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I'm leaving and I won't be back

I'm goin' to where I belong

Too long we've been together

And too long you've done me wrong.



Still water runs the depest

Like a love complete and through

So peaceful and dependable

I can't say the same about you...
