歌曲歌詞
Heres the story of a man and his family
And a big trip that they took
Well I heard all about in a restaurant
And I read it in a history book
They rented a car at the erie canal
But the car didn't have no brake
Said ma to pa my God this car
Is gonna fall into the bottomless lake
Well mama turned to daddy with a pale face
Said Ive done something horribly wrong
Well the waters still runnin in the bathtub
And I think I left the kitchen light on
Then I heard a crash the car when splash
And the compass rolled around and around
Oh for heavens sake we fell in a lake
And I think were all gonna drown
We are falling down
Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground
Smoke em if you got em
I'm so scared I can hardly breathe
I may never see my sweatheart again
There was plenty of food in the backseat
And the windows were rolled up tight
So we all nibbled on a chicken leg
Told stories way thru the night
Well pa told one that he told before
And the baby got a bellyache
Said ma to pa my God this car
Falling down a bottomless lake
We are falling down
Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground
Smoke em if you got em
I'm so scared I can hardly breathe
Never say is been hard agian
Poppa played the music on the radio
Mama rocked the baby to sleep
He said he wouldve taken the other road
But he didn't think the lake was that deep
Well if the ferry been there at the end of the pier
Wed be half way to uncle jakes
Instead of looking at fish out the window I wish
Wed hit the bottom of the bottomless lake
Stead of looking at fish out the window I wish
Wed hit the bottom of the bottomless lake
We are falling down
Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground
Smoke em if you got em
I'm so scared I can hardly breathe
Never thin is been hard agian
So if youre ever goin on a big trip
Ya better be careful out there
Start everything on you good foot
And wear clean underwear
Take along a Bible in the backseat
Read of david and solomon
For if you make a mistake in the bottomless lake
You may never see your sweetheart again
If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake
You may never see your sweetheart again
If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake
You may never see your sweetheart again
