You’re underwater but you’re not drowning
The river’s flooding the whole city around you
It could be better, you know it could be worse
You’ve learned to live with this midwestern curse
And all your friends don’t really know you
Or all the fucked up scary thoughts that keep you going
And they don’t know that your home life’s a joke
Does everybody have their neck in a yoke?
Yes, the answer’s yes, but we can fool each other sometimes
We can help each other sometimes
Stop choking on second guesses
Stop cleaning up everybody’s messes
Stop drowning in holy water
Get carried away with us on the Sangamon River
