I'm Gonna Drown

Words & Music by Brent Lindsay Boehler © 1973 SOCAN


Well there’s a place, the people say
Down by the river, drown your troubles away
Well there’s a place, I’m going to
And I wanna be happy, oh when I’m thru

I’m gonna drown, I’m gonna drown
My troubles away, I’m gonna drown them away

Are you comin’ with me, when I go
Down to the river, I'm gonna drown my sorrows
I’m leavin’ now, gonna say goodbye
I might not come back, if the rivers wide

I’m gonna drown, I’m gonna drown
My troubles away, I’m gonna drown them away

If I don’t succeed there, I’ll be moving on
Down to the ocean, be there by dawn
In them salty waters, I’m gonna stick my head
If I don’t come up, well them you’ll know I’m dead

I’m gonna drown, I’m gonna drown
My troubles away, I’m gonna drown them away
I’m gonna drown, I’m gonna drown
My troubles away, I’m gonna drown them away
I’m gonna drown them away, I’m gonna drown them away
I’m gonna drown them away, I’m gonna drown them away

I'm Gonna Drown
