Shipwrecked In The Ighties Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Well you fight like the devil to 

Just keep your head above water 

Chained to whatever you got 

That you can't throw away 

And you're shooting through space 

On that river of life that you're riding 

And it's swirling and sucking you 

Deeper on down everyday.

So you turn to your trusty old partner 

To share some old feelings 

And you find to your shock that 

Your faithful companion is gone (so long, tonto) 

And the truth slowly dawns that you're 

Lost and alone in deep water 

And you don't even know how much longer 

There is to go on 

Like an old holy Bible you've clung to 

For so many seasons 

With the rules of survival in words 

You could still understand. 

When they proved something wrong 

You believed in so long you go crazy 

And you're so close to foldin' the cards 

That you hold in your hand 

Photos 

Singing, holy toledo I can't see the light anymore 

(hank williams said that) 

All those horizons that I used to guide me are gone 

(I'm damn sure van morrison said that ...) 

And the darkness is driving me farther away from the shore 

(I said that.) 

Throw me a rhyme or a reason to try to go on. 

(come on, danny, throw me a line, baby!)
