Goin' Down |
| FloatinЂ™ 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 Ђ™round |
| GoinЂ™ down |
| GoinЂ™ down |
| ComingЂ™ up for air |
| ItЂ™s pretty stuffy under there |
| IЂ™d like to say I didnЂ™t care |
| But I forgot to leave a note |
| And itЂ™s so hard to stay afloat |
| IЂ™m soakinЂ™ wet without a boat |
| And I knew I should have taken off my shoes |
| ItЂ™s front page news |
| GoinЂ™ down |
| GoinЂ™ down |
| I wish I had another drink |
| It wouldnЂ™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 didnЂ™t need this extra weight |
| I wish that I could see the way to shore |
| DonЂ™t want no more |
| GoinЂ™ down |
| IЂ™m goinЂ™ 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 itЂ™s really got me stumped |
| I canЂ™t believe why I jumped |
| IЂ™d like to get my tummy pumped |
| I canЂ™t believe they drink this stuff in town |
| This dirty brown |
| GoinЂ™ down |
| GoinЂ™ down |
| I wish I looked before I leaped |
| I didnЂ™t know it was so deep |
| Been down so far I donЂ™t get wet |
| HavenЂ™t touched the bottom yet |
| This river scene is gettinЂ™ old |
| IЂ™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 |
| IЂ™d gladly leave that girl alone |
| What a way to spend the night |
| If I donЂ™t drown, IЂ™ll die of fright |
| My pappy taught me how to float |
| But I canЂ™t swim a single note |
| He threw me in to teach me how |
| I stayed there floatinЂ™ like a mama cow |
| And now IЂ™ve floated way down stream |
| I know this has to be a dream |
| If I could find my way to shore |
| IЂ™d never, never do this anymore |
| IЂ™ll give you three, IЂ™ve been down nine |
| IЂ™m goinЂ™ down just one more time. |
| GoinЂ™ down. |
| GoinЂ™ down. |
| Now the sky is gettinЂ™ light |
| An everything will be alright |
| Think I finally got the knack |
| Just floatinЂ™ here lazy on my back |
| I never really liked that town |
| I think IЂ™ll ride the river down |
| Just movinЂ™ slow and floatinЂ™ free |
| ThereЂ™s a river swinginЂ™ under me. |
| Waving back to the folks on shore |
| I should have thought of this before |
| IЂ™m floatinЂ™ on down to new orleans |
| GoinЂ™ to pick up on some swinginЂ™ scenes |
| I know IЂ™ll know a better day |
| IЂ™ll go down groovinЂ™ all the way |
| GoinЂ™ down |
| GoinЂ™ down |
