Willie Nelson - Takin' on Water lyrics

[Willie Nelson - Takin' on Water lyrics]

You ain't nothing but trouble
Far as I can tell
Just a wasted wish in the wishing well
But, you don't know, I've been here before
I'm just one too many miles from shore

And I'm taking on water and I'm going down
Taking on water, that's what I'm doing now
Taking on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground

Oh, I'm already in, in too deep
I know you won't be there to rescue me
I'm already feel it, right through my chest
I'm afraid if I taste it
I might not catch my breath

Why is a woman always thinking
Just because a man is sinking
He's gonna drown

Takin' on water, going down
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doing now
Takin' on water with only one way out
