Goin Down — текст песни (Soul Asylum)





Floatin down the river

With a saturated liver

And I thought I would 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

Goin down

Im goin down



Coming up for air

Its pretty stuffy under there

Id like to say I didnt care

But I forgot to leave a note

And its so hard to stay afloat

Im soakin wet without a boat

And I knew I should have taken off my shoes

Its front page news

Goin down

Im goin down



I wish I had another drink

It wouldnt 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 didnt need this extra weight

I wish that I could see the way to shore

Dont want no more

Goin down

Im goin 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 its really got me stumped

I cant believe why I jumped

Id like to get my tummy pumped

I cant believe they drink this stuff in town

This dirty brown

Goin down

Im goin down



I wish I looked before I leaped

I didnt know it was so deep

Been down so far I dont get wet

Havent touched the bottom yet

This river scene is gettin old

Im hungry, sleepy, wet and cold

She told me to forget it nice

I should have taken her advice

I only want to go back home

Id gladly leave that girl alone

What a way to spend the night

If I dont drown, Ill die of fright

My pappy taught me how to float

But I cant swim a single note

He threw me in to teach me how

I stayed there floatin like a mama cow

And now Ive floated way down stream

I know this has to be a dream

If I could find my way to shore

Id never, never do this anymore

Ill give you three, Ive been down nine

Im goin down just one more time.

Goin down.

Im goin down.



Now the sky is gettin light

And everything will be alright

Think I finally got the knack

Just floatin here lazy on my back

I never really liked that town

I think Ill ride the river down

Just movin slow and floatin free

Theres a river swingin under me.

Waving back to the folks on shore

I should have thought of this before

Im floatin on down to new orleans

Goin to pick up on some swingin scenes

I know Ill know a better day

Ill go down groovin all the way

Goin down

Goin down
