Oh you know I tried so hard To get across to even smile Oh you know I've got to call my mother She's down on love and unemployed Oh you know I've got to call my father He's hit the piss lives by himself And this river is gonna burst What the hell am I doing here? I'm not waiting for a boat I'm gonna dive right in And swim straight down Oh you know I tried so hard To write it down to sing along Oh you know I've gotta call my brother Sleeps all day long knows how it goes And this river is gonna burst What the hell am I doing here? I'm not waiting for a boat I'm gonna dive right in And swim straight down Roll that joint Light it for the wind Sell that booze to my old friend Tell those women I ain't lovin' anyone Tell my mother I'm doing fine And this river is gonna burst What the hell am I doing here? I'm not waiting for a boat I'm gonna dive right in And swim straight down Oh you know I tried so hard
