  • Verse 1
    Sock 
    it 
    to me 

    Floatin' 
    down the 
    river 

    with 
    saturated 
    liver 

    And 
    wish 
    I could forgive 
    her, but 

    do 
    believe she 
    meant 
    it 

    When she 
    told 
    me to forget 

    it, and 
    I bet she 
    will regret 
    it 

    When 
    they find 
    me 
    in 
    the morning 

    wet 
    and drowned 

    And 
    the word 
    gets 
    'round 

    I'm goin' 
    down 

    I'm goin' 
    down 

    Verse 2
    Comin' 
    up for 
    air, 

    it's pretty 
    stuffy 
    under 
    there 

    I'd like to 
    say 
    I didn't 
    care, 

    but I forgot 
    to leave 
    note 

    And it's 
    so 
    hard 
    to stay 
    afloat, 

    I'm soakin' 
    wet without 
    a boat 

    And I 
    knew 
    I should've 

    taken 
    off my 
    shoes 

    It's 
    front page 
    news

    Goin' 
    down 

    Verse 3
    Goin' 
    down 


    Hey, 
    hey 

    Hey, 
    hey 

    Hey, 
    hey, 
    hey, 
    hey, 
    hey 

    Hey, 
    hey, 
    hey, 
    hey 


    Verse 4
    I wish 
    I had 
    another 
    drink, 

    it wouldn't 
    be so 
    hard 
    to sink 

    I should've 
    taken 
    time 
    to think, 

    besides 
    I got 
    the picture 
    straight 

    She must 
    have had 
    another 
    date, 

    I didn't 
    need 
    this extra 
    weight 

    I wish 
    that 
    could 
    see 
    the way 
    to 
    shore 

    I don't 
    want 
    no 
    more 

    Goin' 
    down 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    down 

    Verse 5
    And 
    now 
    I see the 
    life 
    I led, 

    I slept 
    it all 
    away 
    in bed 

    I should've 
    learned how 
    to swim 
    instead, 

    and now 
    it's really 
    got me 
    stumped 

    I can't 
    believe 
    why 
    I jumped, 

    I'd like to 
    get my 
    tummy 
    pumped 

    I can't 
    believe 
    they 
    drink 

    this 
    stuff 
    in town 

    This 
    dirty 
    brown 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down, 
    hey, 
    hey 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Verse 6
    wished 
    I'd 
    looked 
    before 
    I leaped 

    didn't 
    know 
    it 
    was 
    so 
    deep 

    Been 
    down 
    so 
    far 
    I don't 
    get 
    wet 

    haven't 
    touched 
    the bottom 
    yet 

    This river 
    scene 
    is 
    gettin' 
    old 

    I'm 
    hungry, 
    sleepy, 
    wet 
    and cold 

    She 
    told 
    me to 
    forget 
    it nice 

    should 
    have taken 
    her 
    advice 

    only 
    wanna 
    go 
    on 
    home 

    I'd 
    gladly 
    leave 
    that 
    girl 
    alone 

    What 
    a way 
    to spend 
    the night 

    If 
    I don't 
    drown, 
    I'll 
    die 
    of fright 

    My 
    pappy 
    taught 
    me 
    how 
    to float 

    But I 
    can't 
    swim 
    a single 
    note 

    He 
    threw 
    me 
    in 
    to teach 
    me 
    how 

    stayed 
    there 
    floatin' 
    like 
    a mama 
    cow 

    And 
    now 
    I've 
    floated 
    way 
    downstream 

    Know 
    this 
    has 
    to be 
    dream 

    If I 
    could 
    find 
    my 
    way 
    to shore 

    I'd 
    never, 
    never 
    do 
    this 
    anymore 

    They 
    give 
    you 
    three, 

    I've 
    been down 
    nine 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    down 
    just 
    one 

    more time 

    Goin' down 

    Goin' 
    down, 
    back 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    down, 
    back, 
    back, 
    back 

    Goin' 
    down, 
    back, 
    back, 
    back, 
    back, 
    huh 

    Back, 
    back, 
    back, 
    huh, 
    back 

    Back, 
    back, 
    back, 
    huh 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Goin' 
    down 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    down 
    home 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    back 
    home 

    Back 
    to my 
    friends 

    Back 
    under 
    the warm 

    And I can 
    do with 
    it, too 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    home, 
    ah 


    Verse 7
    Now 
    the sky 
    is 
    gettin' 
    light 

    And 
    everything 
    will 
    be 
    alright 

    Think 
    finally 
    got 
    the knack 

    Just 
    floatin' 
    and 
    lazin' 

    on 
    my 
    back

    I never 
    really 
    liked 
    that 
    town 

    I think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    the river 
    down 

    Just 
    movin' 
    slow 
    and 
    floatin' 
    free 

    There's 
    a river 
    swinging 
    under 
    me 

    Waving 
    back 
    to 
    the folks 

    on 
    shore 

    I should've 
    thought 
    of this 
    before 

    I'm 
    floatin' 
    on 
    down 
    to 
    New Orleans 

    And 
    pick 
    up 
    on 
    some swingin' 

    scenes 

    I'm gonna 
    know 
    a better 
    day 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    down 
    groovin' 

    all 
    the way 

    Goin' 
    down 

    Go-go-go 
    down 

    down 

    down 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    down, 
    back, 
    back, 
    back 

    Down 
    in New Orleans, 
    back, 

    back, 
    back, 
    back 
    home 

    I'm 
    go-goin' 
    down,

    hey, 
    hey,

    Goin'

    Oh,

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
