Divers Do It Deeper Lyrics


It was too cold to stay in the north and L.A.
Seemed the most likely place I could be
Those Malibu nights and those Hollywood lights
Were blinding meI longed for a lover to help me discover
The key that would unlock love's door
While diving the reefs, Lord, she changed my beliefs
As we made love on the ocean's floorAnd she whispered, "Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Brick layers always make it
Just a little bit strongerSailors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
But cowboys stay in the saddle
Just a little bit longer"I moved from L.A. for a good job with pay
Riding range for the Double Bar Jay
Till the rodeo came in I put in my name
For the bull riding contest that dayThe judges were watching but they never noticed
The girl standing close to my chute
She'd picked me to win, I could tell by her grin

As she reached out and platted my bootAnd she said, "Divers do it deeper
Pilots do it higher
Bricklayers always make it
Just a little bit strongerDoctors 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
Brick layers always make it
Just a little bit stronger, strongerSailors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
But cowboys stay in the saddle
Just a little bit longer

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe is one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he hasn't had many big hits — only three of his singles hit the Top Ten — but he has been among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Born in Akron, OH, Coe first got into trouble with the law at age nine. As a result, he was sent to reform school.
