You’re underwater but you’re not drowning The river’s flooding the whole city around you It could be better, you know it could be worse You’ve learned to live with this midwestern curse And all your friends don’t really know you or all the fucked up scary thoughts that keep you going and they don’t know that your home life’s a joke Does everybody have their neck in a yoke? Yes, the answer’s yes, but we can fool each other sometimes we can help each other sometimes Stop choking on second guesses Stop cleaning up everybody’s messes Stop drowning in holy water Get carried away with us on the Sangamon River
