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