Drowning Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't tell me about no beach
Don't wanna hear about your mountain
How the good life is a peach
You drink your sunsets from a fountain
No, I don't wanna think about it
Save your breath, I don't wanna hear about it

[Chorus]
I just wanna get right down at the fire light
Let my baby sing, "Hold me tight
You honky tonk nighttime man"
Drink away this crazy world
Hold tight to a longneck-holdin' girl
Won't you give it all boys? The fed-up give a damn
Bartender, here's a fifty
Pour some whiskey on this drowning man


[Verse 2]
We put the smoke in the stack
Put the seed in the ground
While Lady Liberty turns her back
And Uncle Sam just turns around
No, I don't wanna think about it
Oh, tonight I don't wanna think about it
[Chorus]
I just wanna get right down at the fire light
Let my baby sing, "Hold me tight
You honky tonk nighttime man"
Drink away this crazy world
Hold tight to a longneck-holdin' girl
Won't you give it all boys? The fed-up give a damn
Bartender, if you're with me
Pour some whiskey on this drowning man

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I just wanna get right down at the fire light
Let my baby sing, "Hold me tight
You honky tonk nighttime man"
Drink away this crazy world
Hold tight to a longneck-holdin' girl
Won't you give it all boys? The fed-up give a damn
Bartender, if you're with me
Pour some whiskey on this drowning man

[Outro]
Don't tell me about no beach
Don't wanna hear about your mountain
How the good life is a peach
Drink your sunsets from a fountain
No, I don't wanna hear about it
Save your breath, I don't wanna hear about it

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
