(Verse 1)
I've got a very troubled mind
Ten feet to go
Ten feet behind
I know I give my time
But it's a long way down the line
Lately I'm scared of being alive
I've got my own dog barkin' when I walk inside
Though what's the use of holding my pride
I've only got one shot
At being alive
[:: CHORUS ::]
I'm in some head high water
Whiskey water
I told my father I'd carry on his name
With my sons and daughters
Raise them taller(?)
And I hang my head beneath the tin roof rain
When I get through
These fur coat blues
[:: VERSE 2 ::]
I though awhile about what to do
I had me a case of them fur coat blues
But that ain't nothin' new
I've been here a time or two
Lately I'm scared of being alive
I've got this hesitation and it's running wild
But what's the use of living in doubt
I've only got one shot
Till my time runs out
[:: CHORUS ::]
I'm in some head high water
Whiskey water
I told my father I'd carry on his name
With my sons and daughters
Raise them taller(?)
And I hang my head beneath the tin roof rain
When I get through
These fur coat blues
When I get through
These fur coat blues
