Divers Do It Deeper
Composer(s): David Allen Coe

It was to cold to stay in the North
And LA seemd 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 loves door
While diving the reefs
Lord she changed my beliefs
As we made love on the ocean floor

And she whispered
Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Bricklayers 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 the range for the Double Bar J
Till the rodeo came
And I put in my name
For the bullriding 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
Bricklayers always make it just a little bit stronger
Doctors do it cleaner
Bikers do it meaner
But Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer

Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Bricklayers always make it just a little bit stronger, stronger
Saliors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
But Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer
