Monkees - Goin' Down Lyrics
Sock it to me...Floatin down the riverWith a saturated liverAnd I wish I could forgive herBut I do believe she meant itWhen she told me to forget itAnd I bet she will regret itWhen they find me in the morning wet and drownedAnd the word gets roundGoin downGoin downComing up for airIts pretty stuffy under thereId like to say I didnt careBut I forgot to leave a noteAnd its so hard to stay afloatIm soakin wet without a boatAnd I knew I should have taken off my shoesIts front page newsGoin downGoin downI wish I had another drinkIt wouldnt be so hard to sinkI should have taken time to thinkBesides I got the picture straightShe must have had another dateI didnt need this extra weightI wish that I could see the way to shoreDont want no moreGoin downIm goin downAnd now I see the life I ledI slept it all away in bedI should have learned to swim insteadAnd now its really got me stumpedI cant believe why I jumpedId like to get my tummy pumpedI cant believe they drink this stuff in townThis dirty brownGoin downGoin downI wish I looked before I leapedI didnt know it was so deepBeen down so far I dont get wetHavent touched the bottom yetThis river scene is gettin oldIm hungry, sleepy, wet and coldShe told me to forget it niceI should have taken her adviceI only want to go on homeId gladly leave that girl aloneWhat a way to spend the nightIf I dont drown, Ill die of frightMy pappy taught me how to floatBut I cant swim a single noteHe threw me in to teach me howI stayed there floatin like a mama cowAnd now Ive floated way down streamI know this has to be a dreamIf I could find my way to shoreId never, never do this anymoreIll give you three, Ive been down nineIm goin down just one more time.Goin down.Goin down.Now the sky is gettin lightAn everything will be alrightThink I finally got the knackJust floatin here lazy on my backI never really liked that townI think Ill ride the river downJust movin slow and floatin freeTheres a river swingin under me.Waving back to the folks on shoreI should have thought of this beforeIm floatin on down to new orleansGoin to pick up on some swingin scenesI know Ill know a better dayIll go down groovin all the wayGoin downGoin down
