HGello, California, this is where it began
I was Cadd9lyin' by myself, she had it all in her hands
To the Gdelta with my daddy then to Tennessee
I ain't Cadd9lookin' for a savior, just tryin' to be me
[Chorus]
'Cause it Gain't in the water, It ain't in the Fwi  F- CneF  F  
I am Gsomebody's daughter and I'm goFnna be CfineF  F  
[Verse 2]
I've been Glookin' for a beach, I've been lookin' for a break
I've been Cadd9lookin' for relief, from a simple handshake
I'm Gsorry that I hurt ya, I'm sorry that I fled
But I Cadd9gotta see the ocean, Gotta make my own bed

'Cause it Gain't in the water, It ain't in the Fwi  F- CneF  F  
I am Gsomebody's daughter and I'm goFnna be CfineF  F  
[Verse 3]
I've got my Ghands where you can see 'em, There's just hope in the air
You do alCadd9l kinds of leavin', Just to come back bare
I'm Glookin' at the skyline, Wanna jump right in
I Cadd9think you knew, That I'd be home again
[Chorus]
'Cause it Gain't in the water, It ain't in the Fwi  F- CneF  F
