Drowning on Dry Land

I’m going down, down, down
My nose is in the sand
Well, I’m going down, down, down
My nose is buried in the sand
A cloud of dust came over
Now I’m drowning on dry land
You know, my father came up to me one day
Said, son don’t rush to be a man
Oh, my father came up to me one day
Said, son don’t hurry to be a man
I didn’t listen to my father
Now I’m drowning on dry land
You know, my mother she told me
My lil' dog didn’t see so well
Ran on the railroad tracks
Take off his tail
He turned his head
To peek over the rail
Lost his whole damn head
Trying to find a piece of tail
I’m going down, down, down
My nose is buried in the sand
Yeah, a cloud of dust came over, baby
Now I’m drowning on dry land
A cloud of dust came over
Now I’m drowning on dry land
