Goin' Down - The Monkees

FloatinЂ™ down the river

With a saturated liver

And I wish I could forgive her

But I do believe she meant it

When she told me to forget it

And I bet she will regret it

When they find me in the morning wet and drowned

And the word gets Ђ™round

GoinЂ™ down

GoinЂ™ down

ComingЂ™ up for air

ItЂ™s pretty stuffy under there

IЂ™d like to say I didnЂ™t care

But I forgot to leave a note

And itЂ™s so hard to stay afloat

IЂ™m soakinЂ™ wet without a boat

And I knew I should have taken off my shoes

ItЂ™s front page news

GoinЂ™ down

GoinЂ™ down

I wish I had another drink

It wouldnЂ™t be so hard to sink

I should have taken time to think

Besides I got the picture straight

She must have had another date

I didnЂ™t need this extra weight

I wish that I could see the way to shore

DonЂ™t want no more

GoinЂ™ down

IЂ™m goinЂ™ down

And now I see the life I led

I slept it all away in bed

I should have learned to swim instead

And now itЂ™s really got me stumped

I canЂ™t believe why I jumped

IЂ™d like to get my tummy pumped

I canЂ™t believe they drink this stuff in town

This dirty brown

GoinЂ™ down

GoinЂ™ down

I wish I looked before I leaped

I didnЂ™t know it was so deep

Been down so far I donЂ™t get wet

HavenЂ™t touched the bottom yet

This river scene is gettinЂ™ old

IЂ™m hungry, sleepy, wet and cold

She told me to forget it nice

I should have taken her advice

I only want to go on home

IЂ™d gladly leave that girl alone

What a way to spend the night

If I donЂ™t drown, IЂ™ll die of fright

My pappy taught me how to float

But I canЂ™t swim a single note

He threw me in to teach me how

I stayed there floatinЂ™ like a mama cow

And now IЂ™ve floated way down stream

I know this has to be a dream

If I could find my way to shore

IЂ™d never, never do this anymore

IЂ™ll give you three, IЂ™ve been down nine

IЂ™m goinЂ™ down just one more time.

GoinЂ™ down.

GoinЂ™ down.

Now the sky is gettinЂ™ light

An everything will be alright

Think I finally got the knack

Just floatinЂ™ here lazy on my back

I never really liked that town

I think IЂ™ll ride the river down

Just movinЂ™ slow and floatinЂ™ free

ThereЂ™s a river swinginЂ™ under me.

Waving back to the folks on shore

I should have thought of this before

IЂ™m floatinЂ™ on down to new orleans

GoinЂ™ to pick up on some swinginЂ™ scenes

I know IЂ™ll know a better day

IЂ™ll go down groovinЂ™ all the way

GoinЂ™ down

GoinЂ™ down
