Down By The Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She was brought up by her mama
Cause her dad was never there
Didn’t have a lot of money
Cause her life was never fair
She was tall, tan & pretty
And she seemed to never care
She was kinds of ready
For someone to take her there
We don’t have a plan
We don’t give a damn
We went down by the water with sand in our toes
Losin’ our minds, losin’ our clothes
When the sun down goes put life on hold
I was raised in Arizona
Where we’ve got sun to spare
My dad said “son, I told ya”
“Life’s too short to care”
I was young, wild & free
And I said my daily prayer
I was kinds of ready
To take somebody there
We don’t have a plan
We don’t give a damn
We went down by the water with sand in our toes
Losin’ our minds, losin’ our clothes
When the sun down goes put life on hold
We went down by the water wind in our hair
Singin’ our song, singin’ don’t like we care
When the sun down goes put life on hold
We went down by the water with sand in our toes
Losin’ our minds, losin’ our clothes
When the sun down goes put life on hold
We went down by the water wind in our hair
Singin’ our song, singin’ don’t like we care
When the sun down goes put life on hold
