Drownin’ On Dry Land

Allen Jones, Mickey Gregory

[Verse 1]
I'm going down, down, baby
My nose is in the sand
I'm going down, down, down, baby
My nose is in the sand
A cloud of dust just came over me
I think I'm drownin' on dry land

[Verse 2]
Yeah, my father, he told me
He said: "Son, don't rush to be a man"
Yeah, you know, my father, he told me
He said: "Son, don't rush to be a man"
But I went ahead on
And, now I think I'm drowning on dry land
That's a bad way to go

[Instrumental Solo]

[Riff]
My mother told me a story
About a little dog who couldn't see too well
She said it crossed the railroad track one day
You know, the train cut off part of his tail
He turned around and never looked up
Just to peep over the rail
And she say it lost his whole head
Tryin' to find a little piece of his tail

[Verse 3]
That's why I'm going down
My nose is in the sand
Yeah, a cloud of dust has came over me
And I think I'm drowning on dry land
