Halfway Down

(jim lauderdale)

Raindrops on the treetops
Waiting there to fall
I know how they're feeling
But i'm only, yes i'm only, halfway down

Fighting with the devil
Harder all the time
Sinkin' to his level
But i'm only, yes i'm only, halfway down

Halfway down, just a getting started
Yes i'm beginning on my journey now
But i've only gotten halfway down
Halfway down, just a little bit farther
Well i believe you better catch me now
'cause i'm only going halfway down

Sippin' shallow water
Sharks out for the kill
Almost hittin' bottom
But i'm only, yes i'm only, halfway down

Halfway down, just a getting started
Yes i'm beginning on my journey now
But i've only gotten halfway down
Halfway down, just a little bit farther
Well i believe you better catch me now
'cause i'm only going halfway down
Yeah i hope you better catch me now
'cause i'm only going halfway down
Yes i'm only going halfway down
Yes i'm only going halfway down
