I ain't gonna swim in black water
So damn deep that I might drown
I ain't gonna swim in black water where my feet can't touch the ground
I have been on the road such a long time now
So many bridges I have crossed
But I never once, no, never once looked down to see how black the water was
I miss you more and more every day
Getting older along the way
Fast food joints and gas stations can not make me stay (Gotta be on my way)
Another waitress pours another cup
She asks me where I am from
Her eyes are like black water
So damn deep that I might drown
I miss you more and more every day
Getting older along the way
Fast food joints and gas stations can not make me stay (Gotta be on my way)
