Lyrics

Cold Cold Water

Written by Kenny Ray Horton

CHORUS
A heart beats slow
In cold cold water
If it gets too deep
A man can drown
If the water's warm
And not too deep or shallow, Lord
Boy you might oughta think
About stickin around

VERSE 1
A young man came late one night
To old man Johnson
Looking for advice
On a thing called love
I think I've fallen
Fallen for a woman yonder
And I don't know what to do
I've never fell in love

VERSE 2
Old man Johnson
Said loves like flown water
If you don't respect it
It'll drag you down
You gotta know yourself
'Fore you can ever know another
So listen close listen close my friend
I'll tell you what I've found

CHORUS
A heart beats slow
In cold cold water
If it gets too deep
A man can drown
If the water's warm
And not too deep or shallow, Lord
Boy you might oughta think
About stickin around

OUTRO
Well if the water's warm
And not too deep or shallow, Lord
Boy you might oughta think
About stickin around
