Bobby Pinson – Way Down

(Bobby Pinson/Jeremy Spillman)

Way down at the bottom of the river

There’s a locket with a picture of me

She drowned what I thought was forever

She locked up our love and lost the key

A friend of mine heard from a friend of hers

She was workin’ on last name number three

There was a time I’d have relished those words

But I’m not where I used to be

Way down

Weighted down at the bottom

I almost drown in a shallow dream

A light shined down and life was waiting at the top when

I let go of the past that was draggin me

Way down an Oklahoma highway

There’s a cafe where they’ll remember me

I broke down by a payphone in the hallway

Put my fist through a drywall sheet

I hit a wall trying to find some kinda way

To find some peace

Buried it all when I dug a grave for all the

Pain that was pulling me

Way down

Weighted down at the bottom

I almost drown in a shallow dream

A light shined down and life was waiting at the top when

I let go of the past that was dragging me

Way down

Way down

Way down, way down, way down, way down
