Well I've been up to my neck in trouble
Up to my neck in strife
Up to my neck in misery
For most of my life 
I've been a fool
And you know what a fool can do 
I'm telling you
You came along when I needed you
Now I'm up, I'm up to my neck in you

And I've been up to my neck in pleasure
Up to my neck in pain
I've been up to my neck on the railroad track
Waitin' for the train 
To cruise on through
Well baby my time is due
Oh it's way overdue
You came along and you pulled me through
Now I'm up, up to my neck in you

Well I've been up to my neck in whiskey
I've been up to my neck in wine
I've been up to my neck in wishing 
That this neck wasn't mine
