Daddy was a preacher from the old boy’s school He taught the fear of God and put the blame on you He’s always drunk in back alleyways While mother and her lovers couldn’t care anyway
So I drink from a jug of white lightning and rain Try to forget before I go insane I’m sinking
Knee deep and getting deeper and deeper So low I don’t know which way to go I’m sinking Knee deep and getting weaker and weaker So low I don’t know which way to go
They looked right through me like I didn’t exist It’s in their eyes I was meaningless Was knocked out cold flat on my back Out of the blue and into the black
So I drink from a jug of white lightning and rain Try to forget before I go insane I’m sinking
[Chorus]
Night after night my world is spinning round Day after day can’t find no solid ground so alone
I’m sinking Knee deep and getting deeper and deeper So low I don’t know which way to go I’m sinking Knee deep and getting weaker and weaker So low…Whoa I’m sinking Knee deep and getting deeper and deeper yeah Well I don’t know I don’t know Getting weaker and weaker yeah Somebody save me
