*Capo 2nd Fret*
IT WAS TOO COLD TO STAY IN THE NORTH AND LA
SEEMED THE MOST LIKELY PLACE I COULD STAY
THOSE MALIBU NIGHTS AND THOSE HOLLYWOOD LIGHTS
(rest) WERE BLINDING ME
I LONG FOR A LOVER TO HELP ME DISCOVER THE KEY TO UNLOCK LOVE S DOOR
WHILE DIVING THE REEF S LORD SHE CHANGED MY BELIEFS
AS WE MADE LOVE ON THE OCEAN S FLOOR (and she whispered)
Chorus:
DIVERS DO IT DEEPER JOCKEYS DO IT SHORTER
BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER; STRONGER
SAILORS DO IT WETTER, SOLDIERS DO IT BETTER
;
BUT COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
I MOVED FROM LA FOR A GOOD JOB WITH PAY RIDING RANGE FOR THE DOUBLE BAR J
TILL THE RODEO CAME AND I PUT IN MY NAME FOR THE BULL RIDING CONTEST THAT DAY
THE JUDGES WERE WATCHING BUT THEY NEVER NOTICED THE GIRL STANDING CLOSE TO MY CHUTE
SHE PICKED ME TO WIN I COULD TELL BY HER GRIN AS SHE REACHED OUT AND PATTED MY BOOT
(and she said)
DIVERS DO IT DEEPER PILOTS DO IT HIGHER
BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER; STONGER
DOCTORS DO IT CLEANER BIKERS DO IT MEANER
COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
DIVERS DO IT DEEPER JOCKEYS DO IT SHORTER
BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER
SAILORS DO IT WETTER SOLDIERS DO IT BETTER
COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
