Head Above the Water

Crawling over white lines Pawning what I need Placing all my bets While I'm on a losing streak Put it all upon pursuits That can satisfy the whole Knowing now, how success Don't lead to happiness I'll do what I can do I'll do what I have to, I will try To keep my head above the water To keep my feet upon the ground I'll do what I have to, I'll do what I can To keep me from sinking to the sand To keep my head above the water Would you play the good bars For whatever's in the hat? Money comes and leaves on the breeze But we've no need to talk about the weather I'll slow dance on fast road Count my losses on a dream Watch the stars bright, they turn to white While I'm turning green I'll do what I can do I'll do what I have to, I will try To keep my head above the water To keep my feet upon the ground I'll do what I have to, I'll do what I can To keep me from sinking, to the sand To keep my head above the water Try to change a bad world With a line lost in a song You'll loose a dozen lovers It ain't hard to lose a lover Would you get yourself a desk job? Could you pay yourself a wage? Everybody's got a dream or two Nobody dreams to fade I'll do what I can do Yeah, I'll do what I have to, I will try To keep my head above the water To keep my feet upon the ground Yeah, I'll do what I have to, I'll do what I can To keep me from sinking to the sand To keep my head above the water
