Verse:
Let's go down to, the Colorado
Let's climb out On the pipes
Looking out and, Looking over
Fear and wisdom, The water hides

You jump first And I'll jump second

Verse:
There's the post that Jess and Jon got tangled up on
Broken bones and bloody face
Can't treat lightly the Colorado River
Muddy water, won't leave a trace

You go first and I'll go second

Verse:
Turn out the head lights, while we're driving
Moon is reflecting wavy lines out on the water
Not really thinkin bout the riptide or the current
Go walk the jetties in the middle of the night

You go first and I'll go second

Verse:
Let's find the spot where Kevin shot
A man in the leg in a boat in the river
Father always said, one day he'd go away
Seven years would take the best life of a liver

You shoot first and I'll shoot second
You shoot first and I'll shoot second
You shoot first and I'll shoot second
