Drowning on Dry Land Lyrics

I'm goin' down, yeah my nose is in, in the sand.
I'm goin' down, yeah my nose is in the sand.
A cloud of dust just flew over me,
Yeah now I feel like I'm drownin' on dry land.
My father told me, he said, "Son, don't rush to be a man."
Yeah my father told me, he said, "Son, don't rush to be a man."
But I went ahead anyway
And now I feel like I'm drownin' on dry land.
My father used to tell me
About a dog who couldn't see too well.
He was crossin' a railroad track one day
When a train cut off a piece of his tail.

You know that dog turned around.
He didn't even stop to look up and down the rail.
You know that dog lost his whole head
Tryin' to find a little piece of tail.

I'm going down, yeah my nose is in the sand.
A cloud of dust just flew over me,
Yeah now I feel like I'm drownin' on dry land.
