The Deep End - Craig J. Hansen

I was born on a dairy farm
But no, that isn’t true
I was raised in a purple haze
That’s closer to the truth.

I was in trouble from the start
I was a traveler in the dark
I filled my head with angry sound
And I learned how not to drown.

Found myself in a barber chair
But I soon escaped
Devil said sign on the dotted line
But I said, man, you are too late.

I was in trouble from the start
I was a traveler in the dark
I filled my head with angry sound
And I learned how not to drown.

Chorus
I walked across the valley
In the heat and bright sunshine
I’ll swim across the river if I can
I’ll fly across the ocean
Til I find some solid ground
But I sank into the deep end
Sank into the deep end.

I got lost in a pool hall
At the tender age of two
They say I won money from them all
But I don’t know if that’s true.

Lack of ambition
Got in my way
Lack of contrition did too
I wore the mask of one who’s never afraid
But what else could I do?

Chorus
