Up to my neck in trouble
Up to my neck in strife
Up to my neck in misery
For most of my life I've been a fool
And you know what a fool can do.
You came around when I needed you now I'm
Up to my neck in you
Up to my neck in pleasure
Up to my neck in pain
Up to my neck on the railroad track
Waitin' on a train
To come on through
Oh you knew my time was through.
You came along and you pulled me through now I'm
Up to my neck in you
Up to my neck in whiskey
Up to my neck in wine
Up to my neck in wishin
This life wasn't mine
But what can I do
Oh what can I do.
You did what no-one else would do now I'm
Up to my neck in you
Up to my neck in strife
Up to my neck in misery
For most of my life I've been a fool
And you know what a fool can do.
You came around when I needed you now I'm
Up to my neck in you
Up to my neck in pleasure
Up to my neck in pain
Up to my neck on the railroad track
Waitin' on a train
To come on through
Oh you knew my time was through.
You came along and you pulled me through now I'm
Up to my neck in you
Up to my neck in whiskey
Up to my neck in wine
Up to my neck in wishin
This life wasn't mine
But what can I do
Oh what can I do.
You did what no-one else would do now I'm
Up to my neck in you
