Lyrics

It was too cold to stay in the north
And L.A. seemed the most likely place I could be
Those Malibu nights and those Hollywood lights
Were blinding me
I long for a lover to help me discover
The key that would unlock love's door
While diving the reefs, Lord
She changed my beliefs
As we made love on the ocean's floor
And she whispered
Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
(Ooh)
Brick layers always make it
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 L.A. for a good job with pay
Ridin' range for the Double Bar J
'Til the rodeo came and I put in my name
For the bull ridin' contest that day
The judges were watchin'
(Ooh)
But they never noticed the girl
Standing close to my chute
She picked me to win
(Ooh)
I could tell by her grin
As she reached out and patted my boot
And she said
Divers do it deeper
Pilots do it higher
(Ooh)
Brick layers always make it
Just a little bit stronger
(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
(Ooh)
Brick layers always make it
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
