Halfway Down

(Jim Lauderdale)



Raindrops on the treetops

Waiting there to fall

I know how they're feeling

But I'm only, yes I'm only halfway down.



Fighting with the devil

Harder all the time

Sinkin' to his level

But I'm only, yes I'm only halfway down.



Halfway down, just a gettin' started

Yes, I'm beginnin' on my journey now

But I've only gotten halfway down

Halfway down, just a little bit farther

Well, I believe you better catch me now

'Cause I'm only goin' halfway down.

Sippin' shallow water

Sharks out for the kill

Almost hittin' bottom

But I'm only, yes I'm only halfway down.



Halfway down, just a getting started

Yes, I'm beginnin' on my journey now

But I've only gotten halfway down

Halfway down, just a little bit farther

Well, I believe you better catch me now

'Cause I'm only goin' halfway down.



Yeah, I hope you better catch me now

Yes, I'm only going halfway down...
