SINKER
(Words and music by R.
HUGHES)
No, I can’t
swim
My hands and feet are too small
And my rudder is way too big
I can’t keep it contained in a Speedo at all
[chorus]
No baby I’m a sinker
An anchor at my feet
Yes, I swear I train enough…
Endure the pain in the pool enough….
But at the start of the race, and at the end of the day
I know I still sink!
My swim angle’s 2:40
AM or P
Tried my whole life for 3:45
Without a pull buoy that’s not gonna be…
[chorus]
Really I’m not complaining
I’ve tried pretty much every new thing
I’ve got a closet full of swim toys and gadgets from Ebay
And dusty books and DVD’s
I’ve been taught and shown and classed and coached
I’ve tried the Tri bible; I’ve been totally immersed
But no machine, marvel, or miracle worked for me
I know I’m a sinker and that’s okay …
[chorus]
