Well I've been up to my neck in trouble Up to my neck in strife Up to my neck in misery For most of my life I've been a fool And you know what a fool can do I'm telling you You came along when I needed you Now I'm up, I'm up to my neck in you And I've been up to my neck in pleasure Up to my neck in pain I've been up to my neck on the railroad track Waitin' for the train To cruise on through Well baby my time is due Oh it's way overdue
You came along and you pulled me through Now I'm up, up to my neck in you Well I've been up to my neck in whiskey I've been up to my neck in wine I've been up to my neck in wishing That this neck wasn't mine I was a loser You weren't lost Baby you were too good, too good to be true What you've got no one else could do Now I'm up, I'm up to my neck in you Yeah you came along when I needed you Oh I'm up to my neck in you
