From the recording Just Above The Waterline
Lyrics
Just Above The Waterline
Just above the waterline is where I stand today
Trying to keep the hard times from getting in my way
But I’m doing better than many that I know
Still I’m just above the waterline tryin’ to stay afloat
Times are tough… no end in sight
There’s just enough… to just get by
So you do what you gotta do… just to survive
When the rain starts a’ pouring… you better keep your powder dry
Just above the waterline is where I stand today
Trying to keep the hard times from getting in my way
But I’m doing better than many that I know
Still I’m just above the waterline tryin’ to stay afloat
When the sea’s are up… you’ll get tossed around
It’ll turn you over…It’ll drag you down
When life pulls you under… in your blues you’ll drown
Before you start sinking… you better head for higher ground
Just above the waterline is where I stand today
Trying to keep the hard times from getting in my way
But I’m doing better than many that I know
Still I’m just above the waterline tryin’ to stay afloat
