I'm going down, down, down
With my nose is in the sand, yes I am right now
Oh oh oh, I'm going down, down, baby with my nose buried in the sand, yes I am
A cloud of dust came over me, seem like I'm drowning on dry land, yes I am
My father came running to me one day
Said "Son, don't rush to be a man," oh no
My father came running to me one day "Son, don't need to get in a hurry to be a man, it's a bad situation to be in"
I should have listened to my father
Now I'm here drowning on dry land (Drowning)
Lord have mercy (I'm drowning)
My mama told me, about a little dog couldn't see so well
He went crossed the railroad track one day, train cut off his tail
He waived his head, to peep over the rail
He lost his whole darn head trying to find a piece of tail
That just goes to show you
Lord, that's the reason that my nose is buried in the sand
It's a bad situation to be in
I need someone to help me
Oh, I don't want to drown on dry land (Drowning)
Lord have mercy (I'm drowning)
Somebody help me
Oh, I don't wanna drown on dry land (I'm drowning)
Don't let, don't let (I'm drowning)
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown on dry land (I'm drowning)
Can't stand it (I'm drowning)
Oh, somebody help me right now
I'm here drowning on dry land (I'm drowning)
Lord, have mercy (I'm drowning)
Oh somebody
