Drowning Man Lyrics by RVSHVD

I drag my ass out of bed each day
And I still got bills that I just can’t pay
Hanging on by a thread, but I’m losing my grip
Getting deeper in the debt that I’m sinking in

Mama’s still sick, and daddy ain’t far behind
Ain’t supposed to question God, but, man, sometimes
I wonder “Why?”

So, here I am
In this bar again
Baptizing in a bottle of the 90-proof truth
Tryna find a cure for the working-man blues
Might stay all night
In these neon lights
Bartender, if you can, break this “give a damn”
Pour some whiskey on a drowning man
Pour some whiskey on a drowning man

Most folks my age just float on by
But I’m still struggling to just stay dry
This river of dreams done taken its toll
But I can’t get out of the currents’s hold

So, here I am
In this bar again
Baptizing in a bottle of the 90-proof truth
Tryna find a cure for the working-man blues
Might stay all night
In these neon lights
Bartender, if you can, break this “give a damn”
Pour some whiskey on a drowning man
Pour some whiskey on a drowning man

Sometimes, I gotta just swallow my pride
But it goes down easier with Jack on ice
I was raised on a “man ain’t supposed to cry”
But I can hide it, if I’m pouring something at the same time

So, here I am
In this bar again
Baptizing in a bottle of the 90-proof truth
Tryna find a cure for the working-man blues
Might stay all night
In these neon lights
Bartender, if you can, break this “give a damn”
Pour some whiskey on a drowning man
Pour some whiskey on a drowning man
Pour some whiskey on a drowning man
