David Allan Coe - Divers Do It Deeper Lyrics

By David Allan Coe

IT WAS TOO COLD TO STAY
IN THE NORTH AND LA
SEEMED THE MOST LIKELY PLACE I COULD STAY
THOSE MALIBU NIGHTS
AND THOSE HOLLYWOOD LIGHTS
WERE BLINDING ME
I LONG FOR A LOVER
TO HELP ME DISCOVER
THE KEY TO UNLOCK LOVE'S DOOR
WHILE DIVING THE REEF'S lord
SHE CHANGED MY BELIEFS
AS WE MADE LOVE ON THE OCEAN'S FLOOR
And she whispered

DIVERS DO IT DEEPER
JOCKEYS DO IT SHORTER
BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER
STRONGER
SAILORS DO IT WETTER
SOLDIERS DO IT BETTER
BUT COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER

I MOVED FROM LA
FOR A GOOD JOB WITH PAY
RIDING RANGE FOR THE DOUBLE BAR J
TILL' THE RODEO CAME
AND I PUT IN MY NAME
FOR THE BULL RIDING CONTEST THAT DAY
THE JUDGES WERE WATCHING
BUT THEY NEVER NOTICED THE GIRL
STANDING CLOSE TO MY CHUTE
SHE PICKED ME TO WIN
I COULD TELL BY HER GRIN
AS SHE REACHED OUT
AND PATTED MY BOOT
And she said

DIVERS DO IT DEEPER
PILOTS DO IT HIGHER
BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER
DOCTORS DO IT CLEANER
BIKERS DO IT MEANER
COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER

DIVERS DO IT DEEPER
JOCKEYS DO IT SHORTER
BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER
SAILORS DO IT WETTER
SOLDIERS DO IT BETTER
COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
