Mama don't sleep well She worries 'bout the kids all night And the kids don't eat well They worry 'bout the mama so they hustle on the side And daddy workin' three jobs The sweat keeps drippin' in the buffalo sunshine So he drives that car Promises someday, mama, we will be all right
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground At times it feels like quicksand Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground At times it feels like quicksand Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Sister's got a new car No new friends, she got money in the bank And every day she works hard, she plays hard Baby knows how to drink Her brother's in a bad place Takes prescriptions for pain to keep his demons at bay So she, so she drives that car Promises, brother, someday we will be all right
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground At times it feels like quicksand Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground At times it feels like quicksand Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Woah-oh (It's pullin' me down, down, down) Woah-oh (Sometimes it feels like quicksand) Woah-oh (Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down) Every day, I pray and I pray, feel like the rain always stayin' Every day, I pray and I pray, I pray that I find my way Every day, I pray and I pray, feel like the rain always stayin' Every day, I pray and I pray, I gotta find an escape
And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground At times it feels like quicksand Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground At times it feels like quicksand Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Woah-oh (It's pullin' me down, down, down) Woah-oh (Sometimes it feels like quicksand) Woah-oh (Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down) Woah-oh (It's pullin' me down, down, down) Woah-oh (Sometimes it feels like quicksand) Woah-oh (Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down)
