Chorus:nIf I could just keep my head upnLike the trees down on henderson swampnAnd make another day, that'll be O.K.nAnd I won't just die another chumpnnWell my head's been wed with envynMy feet's been tied with sinnThe sweet smell of death is upon my breathnFor every stroke I swimnnMy history forgets menNotify my next of kinn'Cause I fear it true that your head (???) too (???)nAll the trouble I was innnChorusnnWell my pennies have all left my pocketsnDown by where my guitar sleepsnAlong with the ladies that I've left behindnWho now line the old back streetsnnInstrumental Interlude (over second half of verse)nnBridge:nWell my cap they call confusionnAnd the water come a-rushin' on innI look to heaven and ask in fearnPlease Lord tell me how did I get here!nnHe said Young man you had to be angrynOh, young man you had to be freenYup, sounds correct and I hope that you're happynSinkin' on, deep into the sea
