Ain't Got No Sole - Ain't Got No Sole lyrics

I went down to the swollen river, I had no fear of drowning, I peeped over the bridges barrier, Into swirling chocolate brown, I went down the banks so slimy, Look how it does eddy, I grabbed the nearest branch right by me For myself to steady, Held my head in my two hands, I felt I was now ready, Had a little clarity pang I lost all my sense of dread, I have no reason to return. Submerged in water Up to my waist now My mind revolves in my head, Lost my balance My ankle I did twist, My fingers frozen red. I felt like one of those mental ba*tards, I lost my shoe. How I've fooled all my a**ociates, How I loved that shoe, But it has no reason to return
