[Verse 1]
My uncle, the barefooter
Used to start up on the dock
Running with the handle
As the boat was driving off
And it would drag him underwater
Until he made it to his feet
How could something so impossible
Be made to look so easy?
Down by Lower Monumental
Mountain runoff in the spring
I tried my best impression
And felt it drag me underneath
And when he moved to Carolina
One September afternoon
He left his Nautique like the rover
On the surface of the moon

[Chorus]
Well, I don't think that it's too much to ask
That we all give a little and we all get a little back
But I'd like a word with the man who sold me this that I
Bought in for a future with declining buyer confidence
Don't let me down easy, just let me down

[Verse 2]
Well, if growing up is learning
Things are not the way you wish
Tiger hanging by his seatbelt
Wrong side up down in the ditch
I'll disappoint the disappointment
Fail to fail, defeat defeat
Yeah, believe in the believing
The kind of hero that I need
[Chorus]
Well, I don't think that it's too much to ask
That we all give a little and we all get a little back
But I'd like a word with the man who sold me this
That I bought in for a future with declining buyer confidence
I don't think that it's too much to ask
That it all gets a little better with the days that pass
And I'd like a word with the man who sold me this
That I bought in for a future with declining buyer confidence
Don't let me down easy, just let me down
Don't let me down easy, just let me down
Don't let me down easy, just let me down
Don't let me down easy, just let me down
