Tab Benoit - Drownin’ on Dry Land lyrics

I'm going down my nose is in the sand
I'm going down, down
Baby my nose is in the sand
A cloud of dust just came over me
And I think I'm drowning on dry land

You know, my father told me
Son don't rush to be a man
You know, my father told me
Son don't you rush to be a man
But I went ahead on
And now I think I'm drowning on dry land

You know my mother told me the story
About that li'l dog that
Couldn't see too well
He was crossing a railroad track one day
When the train cut off a part of his tail
He turned around but never looked up
Just to peep over the rail
And she said he lost his whole head
Trying to find a little piece of tail

That's why I'm going down my
Nose is in the sand
A could of dust just came over me
And now I think I'm drowning on dry land
