Swim Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My mother tried to flush me
That's how I learned to swim
She didn't need a baby
No, she did it for a whim
My father was a junkie
A low-down dirty shame
He left my mother nothin'
And he didn't leave me his name

[Chorus]
You got to swim, baby swim
Swim the ocean wide
You got to swim, baby swim
Swim against the tide
You got to swim, swim, swim
With nobody by your side

[Verse 2]
My girlfriend was a groupie
She lived in a commune
She caught the bloopie-doopie
And brought it to my room
I took her to the doctor
He tried to make her well
They'll be tomorrow morning
A new face down the hill

[Chorus]
You got to swim, baby swim
Swim against the tide
You got to swim, baby swim
Swim the ocean wide
You got to swim, swim, swim
With nobody by your side

[Verse 3]
My lawyer tried to free me
Last time I went to jail
Telephoned my woman
If she would loan my bail
My woman laughed and told me
"Got myself another man
You can do 100 years, just do the best you can"

[Chorus]
You got to swim, baby swim
Swim against the tide
You got to swim, baby swim
Swim the ocean wide
You got to swim, swim, swim
With nobody by your side

[Outro]
Swim
You got to swim now
You better swim girl
Oh, swim
You got to swim now
You got to swim
