Drowning on Dry Land - The Fabulous Thunderbirds

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
