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