Well I've drifted across
This land of the brave and free
Just to wash up again
In the same old place I didn't wanna be
Feels like I washed up every sunrise
Just one too many times
Down by the same damn shore
I only wish I, I only wish I
Would have washed up at your door
Cause now she's drifted away
And I paddled to save her
But in this big drink
The tide it pulls you under
It pulls you down
Keep on wading
Keep on wading through the undertow
Keep on wading
Keep on wading but it won't let you go
Cause now she's drifted away
And I paddled to save her
But now I'm lost in this paradise
Cause the tide it pulled me under
It pulled me away
The politicians they won't help you now
But they'll try and persuade you
The TV preacher he won't save your soul
Cause you can only save your own
Keep on wading
Keep on wading through the undertow
Keep on wading
Keep on wading but it won't take you home
No it won't take you home
No it won't take you home
