Learnin’ to Drown Vincent Neil Emerson

[Verse 1]
Well I been sleepin' in my car
Been movin' fast but it seems I ain't gone far
And I can't believe oh what I am and what I used to be
I'm barely a man and livin' hard
Well my father killed himself and my mother hit the bar
Ain't it funny, ain't it funny how the world'll set you free?

[Chorus]
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
And my face don't look right without a frown
Well if you can't swim you better learn to drown

[Verse 2]
Well I been stealin' all my meals
I been gettin' by every time the well runs dry I tell myself
If it don't kill me then I guеss I'll never die
Wеll I been acting like a mule
Cause I'd rather hear you laugh than be here with my mind and all my thoughts
Well I guess I'll always be the laughin' fool

[Chorus]
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
And my face don't look right without a frown
Well if you can't swim you better learn to drown
