Discover the story of the song > Cool Water – Marty Robbins

The protagonist is in a very dry place without any water, and he is very thirsty. He and his horse are looking for water but they can't find any. He sees stars in the sky and thinks they look like pools of water. The protagonist is encouraged to keep moving and not be tricked by the devil into giving up because there is water waiting for him under a big, green tree.
