Suck it to me! Floating in 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 you will forget it When you find me in the morning wet and drowned And the word gets round I'm going down I'm going down I'm coming up for air It's pretty stuffy under there Like I said, I didn't care But I forgot to leave a note And it's so hard to stay afloat I'm soaking wet without a boat And I knew I should have taken off my shoes It's front page news Going down Going down Heck, heck Heck, heck Heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck 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 the *** The way to wish that I could see the way to show I don't want no more Going down I'm going down And now I see the life I let it slip But all the way I made it Should have learned to swim Instead of now It's really got me stumped I can't believe it Why I took my life again My tummy bump I can't believe They drink this stuff in town This dirty brown I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down Heck, heck I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down I wish I'd looked before I leave But didn't know it was so deep And down so far I don't get where I haven't touched the bottom yet This river's senior So getting 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 floating like a mama cow And now I'm floating way downstream I 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 up and down and I'm going down Just one more time Going down Back, going down Back, going down Going down I'm going down Back, back, back, going down Back, back, back, home Back, back, back, home Back, back, back, back, home Going down I'm going down I'm going back home Back to my friends I'm back to telling the world I'm back to proving the truth I'm going home Now the sky is getting light Everything will be all right I think I finally got the knack Of just floating in lazy on my back I never really liked that town I think I'll ride the river down Just moving slow and floating free There's a river swinging under me Waving back to the slopes on shore I should have thought of this Before I flown on down to New Orleans And picked up on some swinging scenes I'm gonna know a better day I'm gonna get moving all the way Going down I'm going down I'm going down Back, back, back, down to New Orleans Back, back, back, back, home I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down I'm going down Go, go, go, go back home I'm going down, down, down, down, down to New Orleans Down, down, down, down the river Now I'm going down Down, down, down, down the river Now I'm going down
