|
Sock it to me |
|
Floatin' down the river |
|
With a saturated liver |
|
And I wish I could forgive her |
|
But I do believe she meant it |
|
When she told me to forget it |
|
And I bet she will regret it |
|
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned |
|
And the word gets 'round |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
Coming' up for air |
|
It's pretty stuffy under there |
|
I'd like to say I didn't care |
|
But I forgot to leave a note |
|
And it's so hard to stay afloat |
|
I'm soakin' wet without a boat |
|
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes |
|
It's front page news |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
I wish, I had another drink |
|
It wouldn't be so hard to sink |
|
I should have taken time to think |
|
Besides I got the picture straight |
|
She must have had another date |
|
I didn't need this extra weight |
|
I wish that I could see the way to shore |
|
I don't want no more |
|
Goin' down |
|
I'm goin' down |
|
And now I see the life I led |
|
I slept it all away in bed |
|
I should have learned to swim instead |
|
And now it's really got me stumped |
|
I can't believe why I jumped |
|
I'd like to get my tummy pumped |
|
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town |
|
This dirty brown |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
I'm goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
I'm down |
|
I'm down |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
I wish, I looked before I leaped |
|
I didn't know it was so deep |
|
Been down so far I don't get wet |
|
Haven't touched the bottom yet |
|
This river scene is gettin' old |
|
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold |
|
She told me to forget it nice |
|
I should have taken her advice |
|
I only want to go on home |
|
I'd gladly leave that girl alone |
|
What a way to spend the night |
|
If I don't drown, I'll die of fright |
|
My pappy taught me how to float |
|
But I can't swim a single note |
|
He threw me in to teach me how |
|
I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow |
|
And now I've floated way down stream |
|
I know this has to be a dream |
|
If I could find my way to shore |
|
I'd never, never do this anymore |
|
I'll give you three, I've been down nine |
|
I'm goin' down just one more time |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
I'm goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
I'm goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
I'm goin' down |
|
I'm goin' back home |
|
Back to my friend |
|
Back to the world |
|
Back to tutor |
|
I'm goin' home |
|
Now the sky is gettin' light |
|
An everything will be alright |
|
Think I finally got the knack |
|
Just floatin' here lazy on my back |
|
I never really liked that town |
|
I think I'll ride the river down |
|
Just movin' slow and floatin' free |
|
There's a river swingin' under me |
|
Waving back to the folks on shore |
|
I should have thought of this before |
|
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans |
|
And pick up on some swingin' scenes |
|
I know I'll know a better day |
|
I'll go down groovin' all the way |
|
Goin' down |
|
I'm goin' goin' down |
|
I'm goin' down |
|
New Orleans |
|
Back home |
|
I'm goin' goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
Goin' goin' goin' down |
|
I'm goin' down |
|
Goin' down |
|
Gotcha go back home |
|
I'm goin' down |
|
Down, down, down |
|
Got to go, got to go, got to go |
