DIVERS DO IT DEEPER

David Allen Coe



It was to cold to stay in the North,
And LA seemd the most likely place I could be
Those Malibu nights,
And those Hollywood lights,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 beliefs,
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 the range for the Double Bar J,
Till the rodeo came,
And I put in my name, 
For the bullriding 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,
Bricklayers always make it just a little bit stronger.
Doctors do it cleaner,
Bikers do it meaner,
But 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,stronger
Saliors do it wetter,
Soldiers do it better,
But Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer.
