Well I've been up to my neck in trouble   Up to my neck in strife   Up to my neck in misery   For most of my life    I've been a fool   And you know what a fool can do    I'm telling you   You came along when I needed you   Now I'm up, I'm up to my neck in you      And I've been up to my neck in pleasure   Up to my neck in pain   I've been up to my neck on the railroad track   Waitin' for the train    To cruise on through   Well baby my time is due   Oh it's way overdue   You came along and you pulled me through   Now I'm up, up to my neck in you      Well I've been up to my neck in whiskey   I've been up to my neck in wine   I've been up to my neck in wishing    That this neck wasn't mine    I was a loser   You weren't lost   Baby you were too good, too good to be true   What you've got no one else could do   Now I'm up, I'm up to my neck in you      Yeah you came along when I needed you   Oh I'm up to my neck in you
