"The Water's Fine" lyrics

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
And go down to the ocean, get the sand in your toes

Oh, 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

Well find yourself a mountain stream
Where 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
We build a fire, scream at a stars
Realize how small we are

Well life can be so unkind
Life can be so unkind
You gotta leave it all behind
You got yours, and I got mine
You got yours, and I got mine
Come on in, the water's fine

Life can be so unkind
Life can be so unkind
You gotta leave it all behind
You gotta leave it all behind
You got yours, and I got mine
You got yours, and I got mine
Jump on in, the water's fine
Jump on in, the water's fine

Ease on in, the water's fine
Ease on in, the water's fine
Cold plunge, jump in, the water's fine
Jump on in, the water's fine
