Sink or Swim - In The Valley Below

X-ray man scanning my body

Yankee boy looking for war

Charlie’s coming out as a commie

Echo shakes me to the core

It’s time for a lesson

Push me to the shore

It could do us good now

To learn a little more

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

India’s making a baby

In a hotel room two blocks away

Uniforms coming to take me

Doctor doctor I can explain

Its time for a lesson

In the lighthouse on the pier

It could do us good now

To get out of here

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

It’s time for a lesson

Push me to the shore

It could do us good now

To love a little more
