Sink or Swim

Lyrics

[Verse 1] X-ray man scanning my body Yankee boy looking for war Charlie's coming out as a commie Echo shakes me to the core [Pre-Chorus] It's time for a lesson Push me to the shore It could do us good now To learn a little more [Chorus] We can sink or swim When I ask for breath I receive it now We can sink or swim If I close my eyes I can see the south We can sink or swim If your courage runs let me take you down [Verse 2] India's making a baby In a hotel room two blocks away Uniforms coming to take me Doctor, doctor, I can explain [Pre-Chorus] It's time for a lesson In the lighthouse on the pier It could do us good now To get out of here [Chorus] We can sink or swim When I ask for breath I receive it now We can sink or swim If I close my eyes I can see the south We can sink or swim If your courage runs let me take you down [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] It's time for a lesson Take me to the shore It could do us good now To love a little more [Chorus] We can sink or swim When I ask for breath I receive it now We can sink or swim If I close my eyes I can see the south We can sink or swim You're slowly sinking, I'm gonna lift you out We can sink or swim
