In a mermaid tail, I slide along
Behind a cowboy and his horse
In a local hall we're dressed to please
Grandmas and Grandpas on their knees
In a freakish storm of '73
I camped out all night in the rain
When my grandma saw
She laughed and said
Girl you'll get water on the brain
I'm always trying to get my breath down at the deep end
Yes I am
Splashing out of my gills
I never try to run away with just a tail down there
But one day I will
By an outdoor pool, I start to cry
Thinking this is the day I drown
Then she picked me up and threw me in
I sank until I found a home
I'm always trying to get my breath down at the deep end
Yes I am
Splashing out of my gills
I never try to run away with just a tail down there
But one day I will
