David Allen Coe - Divers Do It Deeper lyrics

rate me

It was too cold to stay

And the north of LA seemed

The most unlikely place I could be

Those Malibu nights

And those Hollywood nights

Were blinding me

I longed for a lover

To help me discover

The key that would unlock loves door

While diving the reefs

Lord she changed my believes

As we made love on the ocean floor

And she whispered

Divers do it deeper

Jockeys do it shorter

Bricklayers always make it just a little bit 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 notice

The girl standing next to my shoe

She picked me to win I could tell by her grin

As she reached out and petted my boot

And she said

Divers do it deeper

Pilots do it higher

Bricklayers always make it just a little bit stronger

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

Bricklayers always make it just a little bit stronger

Sailors do it wetter

Soldiers do it better

But cowboys stay in the sattle

Just a little bit longer
