[Verse 1]
I'm leaving this town, I'm out of the race
I'm packing my bags, I ain't gonna stay
I can't stand the pressure building on me
Don't try to stop me, I've got to break free

[Chorus]
Take me down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
I take my time, I'll stay a while
Don't have to worry about a thing
Don't you know
I'm going down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
I take my time, I'll stay a while
Don't have to worry about a thing

[Verse 2]
They tell you the truth, but you know it's a lie
Big brother is watching, the eye in the sky
Just take your freedom, and throw it away
'Cause sooner or later we're all gonna pay

[Chorus]
Take me down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
I take my time, I'll stay a while
Don't have to worry about a thing
Don't you know
I'm going down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
I take my time, I'll stay a while
Don't have to worry about a thing
[Bridge]
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-yeah
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-yeah


[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
They're taxing the rain, the water we drink
Just do as you're told, there's no time to think
We shouldn't forget what we learned from the past
Stop looking at life through rose coloured glass

[Chorus]
Take me down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
I take my time, I'll stay a while
Don't have to worry about a thing
Don't you know
I'm going down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
I take my time, I'll stay a while
Don't have to worry about a thing
Take me down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
I take my time, I'll stay a while
Don't have to worry about a thing
Don't you know
I'm going down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
I take my time, I'll stay a while
Don't have to worry about a thing
Don't worry about a thing
I don't worry about a thing
Yeah
I'll stay while, I take my time
You don't worry about a thing
I'm going down to the cool, clear water
Don't worry about me
Don't worry about me
Don't worry about me
