Down On The Bottom — текст песни (Tracy Byrd)

(Mark Nesler/Tracy Byrd)

I can`t say looking back right now just where our love went wrong
But the hard cold fact is she`s not here she`s gone
Made me a promise she`d be true till the rivers all ran dry
The rivers still runnin` but she`s long said goodbye

That`s why I`m down on the bottom
Where the Moccasin`s King and the big tall cypress grow
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some peace of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom

Got friends in the world outside but none quite like ol` Cajun Joe
He lives down a slough where the river used to flow
Worked real hard most of his life till the pushin` came to shove
Gave it all he had but he just couldn`t rise above

That`s why he`s down at the bottom
Where the alligator swims and the old grey moss hangs low
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some piece of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom

I can get back up here on the bottom
On the Natchez river bottom
