Knee Deep

Daddy was a preacher from the old boy’s school

He taught the fear of God and put the blame on you

He’s always drunk in back alleyways

While mother and her lovers couldn’t care anyway

So I drink from a jug of white lightning and rain

Try to forget before I go insane

I’m sinking

Knee deep and getting deeper and deeper

So low I don’t know which way to go

I’m sinking

Knee deep and getting weaker and weaker

So low I don’t know which way to go

They looked right through me like I didn’t exist

It’s in their eyes I was meaningless

Was knocked out cold flat on my back

Out of the blue and into the black

So I drink from a jug of white lightning and rain

Try to forget before I go insane

I’m sinking

[Chorus]

Night after night my world is spinning round

Day after day can’t find no solid ground so alone

I’m sinking

Knee deep and getting deeper and deeper

So low I don’t know which way to go

I’m sinking

Knee deep and getting weaker and weaker

So low…Whoa I’m sinking

Knee deep and getting deeper and deeper yeah

Well I don’t know I don’t know

Getting weaker and weaker yeah

Somebody save me
