Fifty years ago, or fifty years from now
Gotta lighten your load, gotta put it down
Go to the water, and jump right in
Wash away your troubles, be yourself again
We go down to the swimming hole
Where we could both finally bear our souls
Swim all day in the warm sunlight
Lay on our backs and watch the stars at night
Life can be so unkind
You gotta leave it all behind
You got yours and I got mine
Come on in, the water's fine
When happiness seems out of reach
There's a lot of good times down on the beach
Take off your wig, take off your clothes, HONEY
Head down to the ocean, get the sand in your toes
Life can be so unkind
You gotta leave it all behind
You got your troubles, I got mine
Come on in, the water's fine
Find yourself a mountain stream
The air is cool and the water's clean
Ain't no bars on the telephone
Sometimes it's best just to really be alone
Later on, the sun goes down
The barred owl calls, and your friends come round
Build a fire, scream at a star
Realize how small you are
Life can be so unkind
You gotta leave it all behind
You got yours and I got mine
Step on down, the water's fine
Life can be so unkind
You gotta leave it all behind
You got yours and I got mine
Jump on in, the water's fine
Ease on in, the water's fine
Yes, step on down, the water's fine
