Bobby Pinson - Way Down lyrics

Way down at the bottom of the river There's a locket with a picture of me She drowned what I thought was forever She locked up our love and lost the key A friend of mine heard from a friend of hers She was workin' on last name number three There was a time I'd have relished those words But I'm not where I used to be Way down, weighted down at the bottom I almost drown in a shallow dream A light shined down and life was waiting at the top When I let go of the past that was draggin' me Way down, on an Oklahoma highway There's a cafe where they'll remember me I broke down by a pay phone in the hallway Put my fist through a drywall sheet I hit a wall trying to find some kinda way To find some peace Buried it all when I dug a grave For all the pain that was pulling me Way down, weighted down at the bottom I almost drown in a shallow dream A light shined down and life was waiting at the top When I let go of the past that was dragging me, way down Way down, way down, way down Way down, way down, way down
