Sweat rollin down my hands and face, Big fan on the screen porch turnin', Cat looking for a hiding place, Sun's sinking but the fire's still burnin', Music playin' a few doors down I'm drawn to the sound, It's just too hot to sleep I walk restless to the

My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in? Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete Under skies all smoky blue-green I can't forsake a Dixie dead-shake So we danced the sidewalk clean New Orleans is sinking man, and I don't wanna swim

Bury your sorrow I'm feeling fine No more tomorrow I found my peace of mind Sinking once again Got no worries, I've found my chosen friends Drifting from all I've known Within this solace, now I call my home I've found my peace of mind

Doing alright Yesterday my life was in ruin Gotta feeling, I should be doing alright Should be waiting for the sun Now today I know what I'm doing Where will I be this time tomorrow Jumped in joy or sinking in sorrow Anyway, I should be doing alright

La la la la Oh how I'm sinking in But I gotta lean back Give it some time So that I can relax I'm outta my mind I'm 'bout to have a relapse I said I wanna roll over He dropped the bait

I'll be your lifeline tonight I won't let go And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over Into cold, cold water for you And although time may take us into different places I will still be patient with you I won't let go (I won't let go)

(If I could turn back) (If I could turn back the hands) If I could turn, turn back the hands of time How did I ever let you slip away Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more Ever since you closed the

I'm lost and fading, life ain't great My heart is breaking and life won't wait There's no one there, no one around There's not a soul and not a sound Your feet stuck in the sinking sand Your mind is reeling, shaky hands Tears are streaming, sorrow calls

Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice I don't know you But I want you All the more for that Words fall through me And always fool me And I can't react

Tear down these walls for me It's not too late for me Stop me from going under You are the only one who knows I'm holding back To keep from sinking further I'm trying to find my way out
