David Allan Coe - Divers Do It Deeper Lyrics






It was too cold to stay
In the north and la
Seemed the most likely place I could stay
Those malibu nights
And those hollywood lights
Were blinding me
I long for a lover
To help me discover
The key to unlock love's door
While diving the reef's for
She changed my beliefs
As we made love on the ocean's floor

Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Brick layers always make just a little bit stronger
Stronger
Sailors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
But cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer

I moved from la
For a good job with pay
Riding range for the double bar j
Till' the rodeo came
And I put in my name
For the bull riding contest that day
The judges were watching
But they never noticed the girl
Standing close to my chute
She picked me to win
I could tell by her grin
As she reached out
And patted my boot

Divers do it deeper
Pilots do it higher
Brick layers always make it just a little bit stronger
Doctors do it cleaner
Bikers do it meaner
Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer

Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Brick layers always make it just a little bit stronger
Sailors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer

    Jimmy now rides around in a Rolls-Royce.
    In the back seat, a passenger with a paid butler/driver.
    A California mansion.
    A yuppie dream!

    F.... G....

    And at 80 years old DAC is a Homeless Singer.

  6. F.... G....

    Jimmy Buffett lives in Beverly Hills.

  7. D.... m....

    He looks like che Guevara in that picture ! Ernesto "Che" Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture.

    D.... m....

    Sounds like he's one of your heros.

  8. S.... ....

    Well I'll be damned

    It does sound like jimmy buffet.
    Sure was dumb there was drama over something so unimportant lol. DAC is cool

  9. J.... D....

    the music to this song is very similar if not the same as "does your dad own a brewery"

  10. w.... k....

    Fuck Jimmy Buffett. David Allan Coe is the real McCoy and a real badass

  18. F.... S....

    His intro has the same melody as the chorus to changes in lattitudes. Coe's lyrics are much better.

    F.... S....

    Jimmy Buffett was going to sue but he said he didn't want Coe to get his name in the paper!

  19. P.... M....

    Sounds just like changes in latitudes 😤

  20. A.... C....

    And David sings changes in latitudes alittle bit better ;)

  21. r.... s....

    Welders do it in all positions ;-)

  22. L.... F....

    This song cost me $1000. I had to show it to my girlfriend and I had to pull it up of YouTube, which wouldn’t load so I did it while driving, which resulted in my side-swiping a bridge because I wasn’t paying attention. Better fucking be worth it, David.

    L.... F....

    Logan Fronatt are you mad at old David?

    L.... F....

    I mean I was putting my phone down when I hit the bridge, but hey you're probably better at life than me, crappyatlife.

    L.... F....

  25. S.... ....

    Jimmy Buffett doesn't live in Key West anymore. So fuck off.

  26. J.... B....

    Total ripoff of Jimmy Buffett's "Changes in Latitudes." Coe is an amazing talent but he sunk to low level on this one.

  27. B.... M....

    Anyone considered that maybe he knew we would think it sounded just like it and he was just fucking with jimmy buffett?

  28. A.... J....

    Son of a son of a son of a bitch. what's all that bullshit for Jimmy Buffet, he don't live in Key West anymore..

  29. M.... W....

    Great Song!

  30. R.... H....

    E.... I....

    Yes. So how's graduate school going, Ernie?

    E.... I....

    Hey Ernie, How does it feel to be a poster boy for affirmative action in employment?

  33. M.... B....

    Changes in Latitudes sucked but this song is awsome.

    M.... B....

    Nah bro DAC just got lazy and stole a popular song. The only reason he didn't get sued is because he wasn't famous enough for jimmy buffet to care. The lawsuit would have only helped DAC record sales

    M.... B....

    +Shoostful oh really the only reason he didnt get sued..... what did Jimmy really ever have....... oh 1 hit ha

  34. T.... P....

    how can anyone not hear "changes in latitudes" here!? I don't mind Coe's music but there is a reason Jimmy tried to sue him, David Allen Coe was well known for taking false credit and telling tall tales. His prison experiences have a million different versions....all from him. Still Nashville misses characters like him.

    T.... P....

    I heard this song back in the early 80's in jr high - didn't latitudes come out in 1998? don't know could only find a reference to divers in 1978 in a movie. so who stole from who? not sure don't care but just because Buffet was heard before Coe or vice versa doesn't mean Coe stole the music. maybe someone should post release dates on both songs.

    T.... P....

    And this is better anyway

    T.... P....

    Jimmy’s song never crossed my mind until I read about it here. ain’t nobody got nothing on DAC

    T.... P....

    Ur retarded

    T.... P....

    Kris Rosenberger I know you are but what am I you moron

  35. B.... ....

    I'm a diver in my sisters pussy :)

    B.... ....

    Getter done, buck!

  36. F.... ....

    Doctors do it cleaner.. bikers do it meaner... but cowboy's stay in the saddle just a little bit longer!! Haha love this tune.

  37. H.... B....

    It is the same melody as Changes in latitudes. Not to say it's a bad song.

    H.... B....

    Jimmy accused him of plagiarism, but didn't sue because he said he didn't want Coe to get his name in the paper!

  38. R.... ....

    Love Jimmy Buffet and David Allan Coe. This reminds me of a crazy time in the worst place on the Coast of California.. Pismo Beach!

    R.... ....

    T.... ....

    You are clearly deaf.

  44. J.... S....

    hey bob

  45. A.... ....

    Your reading comprehension skills leave much to be desired. People claim this sounds like a Jimmy Buffet tune. I was just disagreeing with them.

  46. B.... ....

    B.... ....
