I was headed south to dull rivers
Past the wishing well
Dropped a couple coins to the bottom
It was hot as hell
Turned around and stood in the shadow
There I met me a man
Had a smile that tempted the angels
So I took his hand
I was feeling so high
Turned my world around
Nothing ahead but blue skies
Till his cheating heart
Took me down
He led me to the quicksand
He said it was the promised land
Oh, thought he was a good man
He led me to the quicksand
We were wading deep in thе water
By the river bеd
Sun was setting low as the eagle
Circled overhead
He was staring up at the heavens
Like he was lost in a dream
My hands and feet were black as my mic now
But my mic was clean
I was feeling so high
I turned his world around
Nothing ahead but blue skies
And now his cheating heart is on the ground
I led him to the quicksand
I said it was the promised land
No, he never was a good man
I led him to the quicksand
I led him to the quicksand
And It's become the promised land
Oh, he never was a good man
I led him to the quicksand
And I'm not going down
I'm not going down
No, I'm not going down
I'm not going down
