(Jim Lauderdale)
Raindrops on the treetops
Waiting there to fall
I know how they`re feeling
But I`m only, yes I`m only, halfway down
Fighting with the devil
Harder all the time
Sinkin` to his level
But I`m only, yes I`m only, halfway down
Halfway down, just a getting started
Yes I`m beginning on my journey now
But I`ve only gotten halfway down
Halfway down, just a little bit farther
Well I believe you better catch me now
`Cause I`m only going halfway down
Sippin` shallow water
Sharks out for the kill
Almost hittin` bottom
But I`m only, yes I`m only, halfway down
Halfway down, just a getting started
Yes I`m beginning on my journey now
But I`ve only gotten halfway down
Halfway down, just a little bit farther
Well I believe you better catch me now
`Cause I`m only going halfway down
Yeah I hope you better catch me now
`Cause I`m only going halfway down
Yes I`m only going halfway down
Yes I`m only going halfway down
