[00:28.19] It was a crawdad spring and a grasshopper summer
[00:33.86] I had a dime store daddy and a paperback mother
[00:40.09] Sister had a boyfriend and brother was playing ball
[00:45.94] And I was raising myself, the last of them all
[00:50.52]
[00:51.82] So I jumped in, closed my eyes
[00:57.94] There was a party going on with nobody home
[01:03.27] No one to mind me, or looking to find me
[01:09.75] I was outside in the backyard swimming alone
[01:13.70]
[01:27.73] I was a California dreamer in a hot Texas town
[01:33.96] And I was too young to drive but I still got around
[01:40.13] Climbing out of windows just to get stoned
[01:46.18] Out there on the edge swimming alone
[01:50.76]
[01:51.96] But I jumped in, closed my eyes
[01:57.91] I was always running away from home
[02:04.01] But on my side was my heart open wide
[02:09.87] I learned how to survive swimming alone
[02:15.36] Yeah~
[02:18.45]
[02:27.65] I've had friends and lovers and so many others
[02:34.00] I've had a lot of good deals and plans that I broke
[02:39.67] Sometimes you get burned but that's how you learn
[02:45.65] When you're out there in the world swimming alone
[02:49.76]
[02:51.78] So I jumped in, closed my eyes
[02:57.58] Don't bother calling 'cause I won't pick up the phone
[03:03.48] Baby don't mind me, you know where to find me
[03:09.74] I'm outside in the backyard swimming alone
[03:21.91] I'll be outside in the backyard swimming alone
