Drowning On Dry Land by ROY BUCHANAN I'm goin' down Yeah - my nose is in the sand A cloud of dust has flew over me And now I feel Like I'm drownin' on dry land My father told me He said: son, don't rush to be a man But I went Ahead anyway And now I'm drawn in ... dry land My father used to tell me About a dog who could not see to well He was crossing a railroad track one day When a train cut off a piece of his tail You know, that dog turned around they didn't even stop to look up and down the rail he know that dog lost his whole head Trying to find a piece of his tail.
