"Down To The Water" lyrics
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Say
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up, pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Now, I was raised in a Christians home
Living on the principle "It's only worth having, if you're working fingers to the bone"
Never did too good at school
Still thought I was pretty cool
Confidence was through the roof
Times were good, but who'da knew
Just what being introduced to drinking a cold brew
Could do
All them girls are beautiful
So, now I like to act a fool
Attention made my ego grow
Now, I think I run the show
Next, I get a temper
Disrespect me, and we're gonna go
Then the police got my name
Danny known is off the chain
Ran the streets stealing things
Taking things that kill the pain
Addiction plus ego is hard to tame
And I'm jealous of the people on the gravy train
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Say
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up, pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Yeah
I guess it's safe to say
I made mistakes
Along the way
I had no sense of consequences
My decisions surely made the hole that I was digging deeper
Mama prayed to God to keep the reaper off of Danny and the dealer of my beeper
Family knew my attitude was crappy
Had no gratitude
Unhappy
Middle finger to the world
Parents wondering what happened
Thugging with them druggy kids
Eyes were always bloody red
Irrational behavior
Quick to go upside somebody's head
Angry and destructive
Unproductive and disruptive
One sick son of a gun
That didn't stick around to raise a young fellow
Raising hella hell
Rebel yelling in the cell
Trying to make collect calls
But can't nobody get my bail
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Say
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up, pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
I was cussing, fighting, fussing, beating people up and getting beat
A sneaky snake smoking, drinking heathen
Even breaking into places
Taking anything that I could carry
Scheming on 'em
Scamming on 'em
Ran among some animals
No sleeping, barking at the moon
That kid deserves a padded room
Hard-to-handle
Vandalize and scandalous
Telling lies
That don't make any sense for alibis
And sabotaging
And everything with its bad habits
Bad habits
In the travel
Lodge the pain of the hangovers
Made the boy a rabid dog
'Cause he can only have a ball with half a ball
And alcohol
People always wondering just how far I have to fall
Well, I'll be dang
I guess it's time to make a change after all
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Say
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up, pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Say
Take me down to the water (water)
Drop me down and pull me up (pull me up, pull me up)
Wash away all my sins but don't eat those fish, when they float to the top
Now, I was raised in a Christians home
