Goin' Down

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 I'm goin' down I'm goin' down Comin' 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've taken off my shoes It's front page news Goin' down Goin' down Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey I wish I had another drink, it wouldn't be so hard to sink I should've 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've learned how 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, hey, hey Goin' down Goin' down Goin' down Goin' down Goin' down Goin' down I wished I'd looked before I leaped I didn't know it was so deep Been down so far I don't get wet I 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 wanna 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 downstream Know this has to be a dream If I could find my way to shore I'd never, never do this anymore They give you three, I've been down nine I'm goin' down just one more time Goin' down Goin' down, back Goin' down Goin' down I'm goin' down, back, back, back Goin' down, back, back, back, back, huh Back, back, back, huh, back Back, back, back, huh Goin' down Goin' down I'm goin' down home I'm goin' back home Back to my friends Back under the warm And I can do with it, too I'm goin' home, ah Now the sky is gettin' light And everything will be alright Think I finally got the knack Just floatin' and lazin' 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 swinging under me Waving back to the folks on shore I should've thought of this before I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans And pick up on some swingin' scenes I'm gonna know a better day I'm goin' down groovin' all the way Goin' down Go-go-go down I'm goin' down, back, back, back Down in New Orleans, back, back, back, back home I'm go-goin' down, hey, hey, hey, hey Goin' on down, hey, hey, hey, hey I'm go, go, go, goin' down I'm goin' down Goin' down, go, go Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to go Got to go, got to go back home, I'm goin' down Down, down, down, down, down, down, down the river now I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
