Went For A Swim Songtext / Lyric

Mom and dad could never reason why

I'd leave the poolside finally and good-bye

They can't understand that it was never meant to be

It used to be fun for me

So I went for a swim until the lake just boiled away

They said to go and find out how the water feels for treading on

The water's gone!

The poolside talk was getting rather old

The wind-chill factor made it freezing cold

The neighbors nosed around but always short of my arm's reach

I took my car down to the beach

I came back from the seashore less and less

Salt water there tastes just as good as fresh

They'll believe me now I won't miss the chlorine eyes

Or their stupid words too the wise
