Drownin' On Dry Land lyrics

I'm going down. My nose is in the sand<br />
I'm going down, down, baby. My nose is in the sand<br />
A cloud of dust just came over me<br />
And I think I'm drowning on dry land.<br />
<br />
You know, my father told me, son don't rush to be a man<br />
You know, my father told me, son don't you rush to be a man<br />
But I went ahead on, and now I think I'm drowning on dry land.<br />
<br />
You know my mother told me the story<br />
About that li'l dog that couldn't see too well<br />
He was crossing a railroad track one day<br />
When the train cut off a part of his tail<br />
He turned around but never looked up<br />
Just to peep over the rail<br />
And she said he lost his whole head<br />
Trying to find a little piece of tail<br />
<br />
That's why I'm going down. My nose is in the sand<br />
A could of dust just came over me<br />
And now I think I'm drowning on dry land.
