David Allan Coe - Divers Do It Deeper lyrics

It was too cold to stay in the north

And LA seemed the most likely place I could be

Those Malibu nights

And those Hollywood lights were blinding me

I longed for a lover to help me discover

The key that would unlock love's door

While diving the reefs

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 it

Just a little bit 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 Jay

Till the rodeo came out 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'd picked me to win

I could tell by her grin

As she reached out and platted my boot

And she said divers do it deeper

Pilots do it higher

Bricklayers 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...
