Way down at the bottom of the river   There's a locket with a picture of me   She drowned what I thought was forever   She locked up our love and lost the key      A friend of mine heard from a friend of hers   She was workin' on last name number three   There was a time I'd have relished those words   But I'm not where I used to be      Way down, weighted down at the bottom   I almost drown in a shallow dream   A light shined down and life was waiting at the top   When I let go of the past that was draggin' me      Way down, on an Oklahoma highway   There's a caffe where they'll remember me   I broke down by a pay phone in the hallway   Put my fist through a drywall sheet      I hit a wall trying to find some kinda way   To find some peace   Buried it all when I dug a grave   For all the pain that was pulling me      Way down, weighted down at the bottom   I almost drown in a shallow dream   A light shined down and life was waiting at the top   When I let go of the past that was dragging me, way down      Way down, way down, way down   Way down, way down, way down
