Píseň: All The Way Under

Interpret:
John Hiatt
Album:
Dirty Jeans And Mudslide Hymns
Have you ever been under?
All the way under
Like I have, oh like I have
It'll make you wonder
Make you wonder
If it don't make you mad
If it don't make you mad
I don't trust a man that ain't been lost
I don't trust a woman ain't been double-crossed
Have you ever been under?
All the way under
Like I have, oh like I have
Have you ever been sorry, really sorry
For what you've done, for what you've done
Well you should call me, yeah, you better call me
Because I'm another one, I'm another one
Well, I've tore the heart out of many a girl
Just to see what she loved me for
Have you ever been sorry, really sorry
For what you've done, what you've done
Have you ever been under, all the way under
Like I have, oh like I have
Body torn asunder, torn asunder
All your good gone bad, all your good gone bad
I'm swimming upstream and it's dark and it's cold
I'm looking for a house made of solid gold
Have you ever been under, all the way under like I have?
Woah, like I have
Have you ever been broken, really broken down to size? Right down to size
Not one word spoken, not one word spoken that you might rise, that you might rise
Can't come up and my lungs about to burst
I'm feeling weighed down by an ill-gotten purse
Have you ever been under, all the way under
Like I have, oh like I have
