Divers Do It Deeper

By David Allan Coe



IT WAS TOO COLD TO STAY

IN THE NORTH AND LA

SEEMED THE MOST LIKELY PLACE I COULD STAY

THOSE MALIBU NIGHTS

AND THOSE HOLLYWOOD LIGHTS

WERE BLINDING ME

I LONG FOR A LOVER

TO HELP ME DISCOVER

THE KEY TO UNLOCK LOVE'S DOOR

WHILE DIVING THE REEF'S lord

SHE CHANGED MY BELIEFS

AS WE MADE LOVE ON THE OCEAN'S FLOOR

And she whispered



DIVERS DO IT DEEPER

JOCKEYS DO IT SHORTER

BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER

STRONGER

SAILORS DO IT WETTER

SOLDIERS DO IT BETTER

BUT COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER



I MOVED FROM LA

FOR A GOOD JOB WITH PAY

RIDING RANGE FOR THE DOUBLE BAR J

TILL' THE RODEO CAME

AND I PUT IN MY NAME

FOR THE BULL RIDING CONTEST THAT DAY

THE JUDGES WERE WATCHING

BUT THEY NEVER NOTICED THE GIRL

STANDING CLOSE TO MY CHUTE

SHE PICKED ME TO WIN

I COULD TELL BY HER GRIN

AS SHE REACHED OUT

AND PATTED MY BOOT

And she said



DIVERS DO IT DEEPER

PILOTS DO IT HIGHER

BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER

DOCTORS DO IT CLEANER

BIKERS DO IT MEANER

COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER



DIVERS DO IT DEEPER

JOCKEYS DO IT SHORTER

BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER

SAILORS DO IT WETTER

SOLDIERS DO IT BETTER

COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
