19.Drownin' on Dry Land

Lyricist:Mickey Gregory, Jr., Allen Alvoid Jones

I'm goin' down
My nose is in the sand
I'm goin' down, down, baby
My nose is in the sand
A cloud of dirt just flew over me
And I think I'm drownin' on dry land

You know, my father told me
â½Son, don't rush to be a man, noâ
You know, my father told me
â½Son, don't rush to be a manâ
But I went ahead on
And I think I'm drownin' on dry land

That's a better way to go now, yeah

You know, my mother told me the story
'Bout that little dog who couldn't see too well
He was crossin' a railroad track one day
When a train cut off a part of his tail

He turned around but never looked up
Just a peep over the rail
And she said he lost his whole head
Tryin' to find a little piece of tail

That's why I'm goin' down
My nose is in a sand
A cloud of dirt just came over me
And I think I'm drownin' on dry land, yeah
