I’d like to ride the rodeo
But I’ve got Brahma fear
So I’ll just stick to airplanes
Gently pop my ears

Drink alot of whiskey
It gives me such a glow
It makes me quite immobile
Ah but it let’s my feeling show

And I’m somewhere below the spotlight
Somewhere below the ground
You dig deep enough you might find me
Find me, and you’ve found my sound

Yes, I own a whaler boat
It slides across the sea
Some folks say I’m part of it
And I know it’s part of me

And when I’m feelin’ solitaire
It let’s me be alone
And when I want to have a taste
It carries me back home

And I’m somewhere below the sunlight
Somewhere upon the sea
You dig deep enough you might find me
Find me, cause that’s where I’ll be

Yes, I drink alot of whiskey
It gives me such a glow
It makes me quite immobile
But it let’s my feelin’s show
Yes, it makes me quite immobile
Ah, but it let’s my feelin’s show
