Divers Do It Deeper Lyrics - The Illustrated David Allan Coe: 4 Classic Albums 1977-1979 - David Allan Coe

It was too cold to stay in the north 

And LA seemed 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 love's door 

While diving the reefs 

Lord, she changed my beliefs 

As we made love on the ocean's floor 

And she whispered 

Divers do it deeper 

Jockeys do it shorter 

Bricklayers always make it just a little bit stronger (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 range for the Double Bar Jay 

Till the rodeo came and I put in my name 

For the bull riding contest that day 

The judges were watching 

But they never noticed 

The girl standing close to my chute 

She'd picked me to win 

I could tell by her grin 

As she reached out and platted my boot 

And she said 

Divers do it deeper 

Pilots do it higher 

Bricklayers always make it just a little bit stronger (stronger) 

Doctors do it cleaner 

Bikers do it meaner 

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) 

Sailors do it wetter 

Soldiers do it better 

But cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer 

Hey, ma!
